What an amazing Easter Sunday! The morning began with reflection over the celebration of this day. Most Easter Sundays in the past have been just like the one the year before (in Jackson with the family). Our Easter family traditions include church, a home cooked meal, and taking pictures by the pink azeala bushes dressed in our "Sunday best." Although I did miss being with family this Easter Sunday, there was a greater message today that kept my mind off of the usual family traditions. HE HAS RISEN INDEED!!! I spent Easter in Birmingham celebrating the day Christ has risen. I worshiped at my home church Mountain Brook Community. It was a great service with time to reflect on HIS sacrifice. Tim preached a great sermon on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"That is you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
"A saving knowledge of Christ crucified and risen is not the mere result of right reasoning about historical facts. It is the result of spiritual illumination to see those facts for what they really are: a revelation of the truth and glory of God in the face of Christ - who is the same yesterday, today, and forever." ~ John Piper
After church, Missy, Kali, and I went to the Jazz Brunch at Open Door Cafe and enjoyed the jazz band, New Orleans doughnuts (aka beignets), french toast with strawberry syrup, shrimp and grits, omelets, and mimosas. A perfect meal to celebrate our risen Savior!
