He is Risen!
This morning, Sara and I were reflecting on books of John and Mathew. As we took time to pray, we were so filled with thankfulness for what our Lord has done for us. We are sinners, unworthy, yet by His Grace we are redeemed. We are His children! In His great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade (1 Peter 1:3-4). This week, we went through the days before Jesus’ crucifixion. We read how one woman gave the most valuable thing she had in worship to Jesus when she anointed him with her jar of perfume. We were convicted as we asked ourselves if we give our all to Jesus. We read how Peter denied Jesus like we often do when we don’t love people, or by our attitude, or our pride or selfishness, just to name a few. Yet Jesus loved Peter so much. He forgave him in love and grace. We are so thankful for this Jesus who redeemed us out of the pit and loves us with an everlasting love, and showers His grace and forgiveness on us. We praise Him because we are redeemed!
May God bless you on this wonderful Easter Sunday. We are so thankful for all of you who continue to write us, call us, message us, and pray for us.
Love, Xolani, Sara, and Peter
