The Real Meaning of Easter - A Nighttime Prayer

"Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! – John 1:29
Please Pray:
Father God, there is sometimes controversy about how, when, and what to call the remembrance of the greatest day in history - the day Jesus Christ, your beloved Son, rose from the dead and brought the gift of Your forgiveness and eternal life to all who would like to receive it - the new covenant. Please pour out Your Holy Spirit on all who believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and put us on our knees before You with thankful hearts for Your great love for us. You, oh God, have given us victory over sin and death, and the promise of never leaving us or forsaking us for eternity. Help us to be the body of Christ, the church, united in awe of how You saved our unworthy souls ... Your body and Your blood as a sacrifice for us. Help us bring this message to all who will listen. Help us to love like You love. Thank You forever! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Love your neighbor. For most of us, that concept has been drilled into us from a very young age. It’s Biblical after all (see Matthew 22:39). Why then is it so hard to demonstrate simple acts of kindness like holding the door for a stranger, helping a co-worker who is...
