He Is Risen

He is risen.
As Easter Sunday draws near, we engage in reflection, grace, and humble gratitude for gift of our Savior, Christ Jesus. In our human effort to view Easter via human eyes, we often comment on an “early” or a “ late” Easter. There isn’t an early or a late; there just is.
Easter. He is risen.
If you want to get technical, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox—which occurs around March 20th - 21st each year. Got it? Vernal equinox; then full moon; then first Sunday. Year over year; equinox, moon, Sunday. Our Father is constant.
Constant in love
Constant in grace
Constant in His promise
​Christ is risen
Among many, Easter is celebrated as a season rather than a Sunday. Many fast, reflect, or engage in deeper study and greater kindness in the 40 days prior to Easter Sunday, and continue in mediation and gratitude throughout the 50 days following. Perhaps we could seek to celebrate the gift of a risen Savior each day—making our lives a season of Easter.
Constant in love
Constant in grace
Constant in grace 
​Constant in His promise
​Christ is risen
Easter. Our new birth. The earth’s new birth.  Among the barren branches, we note beauty that soothes us and a newness that inspires us. 
As Solomon sang, "Flowers appear on the earth: the season of singing has come.” Song of Songs 2:11.
Sing of His love
​Sing of His grace
Sing of His promise
Christ is risen
​Fear not,
