132 – What happens after Easter?

Do we just go on with our lives as if nothing special has happened?

All too often, we get busy with family activities, projects at work, planting the garden, planning a vacation. The list goes on and on. 

In and of themselves, these activities are probably good and needed. 

But honestly, how much do we continue to remember and be inspired by the resurrection two, three, or six months after Easter?

In this week's episode, I talk about 

• What would happen if we constantly had the power and spirit of Jesus’s resurrection in our hearts and minds?
• Is there something holding us back from completely embracing the resurrection?
• Do we have doubts and uncertainties about how to share the good news of Jesus's resurrection with the world?
• Do we ever feel unworthy or incapable of bearing witness to Jesus with  others?

Jesus did not want any of his disciples to carry around the guilt and shame they may have felt because of how they fell asleep when he asked them to pray, abandoned him when the Romans arrested him,  or like Peter, denied he even knew him. 

Jesus wanted them to be drop this mental baggage so they could get on with the business at hand, preaching the gospel to all mankind.

If you had been there for the morning meal with Jesus on the shore of the Sea of Galilee (see John 21) he would have looked into your heart and tenderly flooded you with so much love, you couldn’t possibly hold onto any feelings of doubt, fear, unworthiness, guilt, or whatever else it might be that would keep you from fulfilling your spiritual purpose in life.

This is true today just as it was almost 2,000 years ago. Christ tenderly comes to your heart and floods it with love so powerful that you can’t help but let go of the hurts, the doubts, the fears, the insecurities, or the pride – all the negative and egotistical self-talk we take part in. 

Christ keeps pouring in love until you are spiritually baptized and every thing and thought unlike God in your life is washed away.

This may begin with a moment. But it will continue for a lifetime. 

Jesus’s resurrection is not a one
