We are the beneficiaries of a gift beyond human imagining. The God who created the world chose to become one of us so he could take us to live with him in eternity. And, as Paul says he’s done, all we have to do is accept that gift and choose to serve him for the rest of our lives.

Jesus' call is the same for us today as it was for Peter and the other disciples back then. Follow me. Tend my sheep. Feed my lambs. The gospel is ours to proclaim. Jesus has risen. Jesus has paid the penalty for sin. Jesus has provided the cure for the worst disease known to humanity, the disease of sin and death. And he provides us with a net that will allow us to gather up all those that he chooses; to bring them safely into his kingdom. That net is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of God for salvation to all who will believe.

We can believe in the resurrection, because of the historical evidence, because of the testimony of God’s word, and because of our own personal encounter with the risen Christ through the indwelling of his Holy Spirit. But unless we tell others about him we haven’t fulfilled the reason for the season. Easter is about proclaiming that Jesus Christ who was dead is now alive again and reigns with God the Father forever.
