A New and Glorious Morn!

It is a brand new day as the sun rises on a new and glorious morning! It is the day when we celebrate the resurrection of our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

This day brings a message of hope and love to all mankind.  He lives again, rising from the tomb, conquering death and dissolution.  No longer do we need to sacrifice animals and suffer contortions to please God.  He suffered the sacrifice for us all, that we may live in his love, and the light of truth, if only we remove the scales from our eyes and see him there.  He is knocking at the door of all of us.  We only have to open that door and let him in.

The more of us who let in that light, the closer we move to the kingdom of heaven here on Earth.  The brighter and more hopeful the world is as more of us live the basic message he brought to us.

First, love your God.

Worship God.

Pray privately, contemplate quietly.  Listen for God in the silent moments.

Join with others in joyous song, in celebration of God, using whatever rituals that bring you closer to him.

Take good care of the planet he has given us.  Cherish it, do not abuse it, and preserve it for future generations, and for the day when the Kingdom comes.  When the good Lord comes to visit your house, do you expect him to be the one to clean it up?

Second, love one another.

Feed the hungry.

Clothe the naked.

Shelter the homeless.

Love wastefully.

Our love of Jesus and the divine is only seen in how we treat the most vulnerable of us.

The Kingdom of Heaven comes in how we light the way for each other.


Judgement of each other has no place in this.  We all have our own weaknesses and sins.  We all use different language to describe our acceptance of the light and way.  Ours is to focus on God and love.  Christian, from ultra-conservative lion to the fluffiest liberal marshmallow, whether you call yourself Jew or Muslim or atheist or Druid - it matters not at all.

He already made the sacrifice for us.

We just have to accept that love, and move to that light, and love God and each other.  And the more of us that do that, the more glorious each morning becomes.

Happy Easter, everyone!
