For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard!”
Acts 4:20
Easter is not a one time a year celebration. The Good News that Christ is Risen has a daily impact in our lives! Our lives have been changed from death to life. We were dead in our sins and iniquities, but God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins through His life, death, and resurrection! The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ has not just changed our lives here on earth, but has changed our lives for all eternity as we now have the sure and certain promise of eternal life through Christ!
Has that Easter message of new life faded though in the ten days since Easter? I pray that it hasn’t for you. In fact, I pray you see each day as an opportunity to celebrate and share the new life that you have in Christ.
In Acts chapter 4, Peter and John couldn’t help but speak of the new life they had been given through Christ and the amazing things they had seen! Peter and John had been arrested and were now before the Council and yet they still could not “but speak of what we have seen and heard!”
As Christians, may the Easter message that Christ is risen have the very same impact on us! May we be ones who cannot help but share the new life we have been given. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, may our sharing of God’s Word lead others to faith in our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
