The Resurrection Season

Has a nation changed gods
Though they were not gods?
But My people have changed their glory
For that which does not profit.
  -- Jeremiah 2:11

Although the start of spring reminds us of it, that is not the primary reason for what is called Easter. We mourn the cross and the death of our Lord Jesus, but mourning is not to be our perpetual state. Years ago, we were given a great gift in a living Savior. Because He lives we have the greatest of hope and a new life awaiting. However, there are indications that some do not want to hold onto this hope we have in Jesus. 

In our verse for today, God brought a complaint against Israel, His chosen nation. It seems that they had changed gods for 'that which does not profit'. All the world faces that same trial today. Peter warned us of this time in his letters to the exiles. To some it seems like Jesus will not return, and there is backlash against any faith in the Rapture. But for us, it is what Jesus said to His church in Smyrna: 

Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.  Revelation 2:10 

Faithful in Christ!
