SUPERNATURAL!

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:13-14

So what ARE we celebrating when we celebrate Easter? When we buy chocolate bunnies (I don't!!!!) and new clothes & potted lilies........when we go to Good Friday and Easter Sunrise services and sing with gusto UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE!!! and then go home and eat a ham dinner and lemon meringue pie (I always thought Easter dessert should be yellow :)

Hey…………its all good but what is it all about really?

We’ve established that Easter is for Everybody and yet it's All About US. But it doesn’t stop there! Ready for the S? Something SUPERNATURAL happens when we accept Christ. Our key verse tells us that Christ has rescued us from the 'Kingdom of Darkness' and transferred us into the 'Kingdom of his Son Jesus!"

I'll bet that when you first trusted Christ as Saviour, that you didn't see that happen and that you weren't presented with a framed certificate that says...........

                                                    Judy Muir

                                                    is now a member of the

                       THE KINGDOM OF JESUS

No? Me neither! That's because it wasn't an outward event but a Supernatural inward 'exchange' involving our soul and spirit.

Pretty cool right? But what exactly does that mean to you and me in 'real time' as it were? In other words, what's in it for us...........if anything?

Glad you asked because we're going to look at one of the dynamic 'life-changers' that is ours because we are now living in Jesus' Kingdom. If you already are experiencing it I know you'll agree with me that it is WOW! If not you will have the opportunity to get this 'life-changer' for yourself as we look at the T of Easter tomorrow!

I've always tended to think of supernatural in more of a negative context, darkness and evil. Feeling a sense of "Duh,I never thought of it like that before". Finding great comfort in this. I have a Supernatural Spirit within me that is greater than the supernatural forces of darkness.

Hey Terry! Thanks for your comment and yes yes yes..............GREATER IS HE that is in US supernaturally than he that is in the world!!!! I like to think about that and realize that ALL of Christ.........His power and wisdom and love........is in me and when I add that to 'I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me" my confidence to do life is boosted hugely and I don't fear what man or the other small 's' supernatural being can do to me. WOO! HOO!

Just thinking maybe we didn't see a certificate like the one you described, but...your name was written in the Lamb's book of Life, and mine too :) I used to think that Book was not a real Book, but just a part of God's mind (the fact that He knows who are His own)
But then I actually heard some near death experience testimonies of believers who went to heaven and atleast one of them described a huge actual book in heaven where people's names were physically entered (by an angel) when they received Christ as Savior and Lord. The man who saw this also saw his own name in the book, it said "Gary...(last name?) bought and paid for by the precious blood of Jesus". Every time I remember this account it makes me weep for joy. Even though I didn't see a certificate being formally presented to me when I came to Christ, my name is formally and joyfully inscribed in that amazing wonderful Book. WOW!

Supernatural sounds pretty great to me! It's the inside of me, my heart that needs all the work. So glad that God is able to do these changes without my instructions for that is how I got into the messes I did in life, trying to do it all myself. Looking forward to the "T" tomorrow.
