Now that Easter is over.....

What a glorious day yesterday was....all those who come out to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Family gets together, we dress up, we go to church, we talk about Jesus, we eat, all of this is awesome. The day comes to an end and then here we are....Monday. Where does Jesus go? Do we continue to talk about Him, serve Him, and follow Him? Or do we put Him on the shelf with our many idols and pull down one of the others and go back to business as usual until Christmas or maybe Mothers day when we will go back to church to be with mom? These folks are called C ME Christians. (Christmas, Mother's Day, and Easter) These are the only times you see them. The only people they are fooling is themselves. Look what the bible says here:

1 Corinthians 15:3-5
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Do you see what Paul delivered as FIRST IMPORTANCE.....Jesus! The gospel is to be of first importance in our lives everyday not just on a few select days of the year. Sit back for a moment and just think about this. 

Once again I want to remind all of us these Words from Jesus, he says them to us as a warning:

Matthew 7:13-14 
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Translation: Many are headed to hell, few are headed to heaven. Why? Many choose the world, Few choose to deny themselves and follow Jesus.

So what are you doing with Jesus today? Don't put Him on the shelf...let Him be Lord of your life every second of everyday! He died and rose again for you!
