"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

Day 47: Go

Christ our Lord is risen today!  Alleluia! Alleluia!

I went to church this morning/afternoon at Union UMC in Boston.  They know how to praise God that is for sure!!  What a blessed morning, when we give thanks for the wonder-ful life in Christ Jesus that God has given to us.

On Easter, though Lent comes to an end, we are really just beginning.  The journey through the wilderness is complete, and now we have real work to do.  Because God didn’t intend for worship only within the four walls of a church.  No, we were created to worship God in every part of our lives, out in the world, every day. 

After Jesus’ resurrection, he tells the disciples to GO.  He sends them out into the world, commissioning them to make disciples of all nations.  Yes we give thanks and praise today while we celebrate our risen Savior!  But now we joyously go into the world, with the strength and courage found only in God, trusting that everything will work out in the end, to serve our brothers and sisters, standing together as children of God.
