The Lord is Risen!!..... Don't worry ..I'll wait for y'all to respond 😬....

Ladies, just an FYI... I May not be around much the next week or two. We are packing up to move back to Alberta and will start our journey into the boonies this coming Friday! We'll be out in the wilderness for a week or so but might have service 😄 Post freely! I would love to know what you're up to!

Jesus didn’t call us to blend in. He called us to be salt and light. And both of those change whatever they touch. Salt preserves and adds flavor.Light reveals and pushes back darkness. That means as believers, our lives should make a difference. Our words, our actions, and our presence should carry something of Jesus wherever we go. We are not called to match the world.We are called to influence it. 📖Matthew 5:13–16 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 💛 Reflection:Where is God asking you to shine instead of blend in?

I never noticed this before but this dinner was taking place BEFORE the crucifixion, yet He says His blood “IS poured out” for you..not "will be poured out"... This suggests that the sacrifice began even before the table!! So I did some research :-) I guess I never realized that the stage had been being set for a while by this time.... remember Jesus had already been denied, challenged and ridiculed. The negotiations of betrayal had already begun, the handing over of jesus was currently in play. The road to the cross was paved and ready...The process of sacrifice had already been started and wasn't going to be stopped. So the cross was actually the conclusion of His sacrifice ! It is finished! But it was also a new beginning for us! A new agreement through this pouring out of Himself. I was also curious about this word "pour"... The word used in the Greek for "poured out" here is: ekcheō = to pour out fully, intentionally. 👉 “My life is about to be poured out completely for you.” 👉 “Nothing will be held back.” 👉 “This is the cost of the covenant.” It amazes me that we're worth this much to God!! And these are just small parts to a much bigger picture! There's still all the correlation between this and the blood covenants in Exodus! His Word is so full and alive! What a God we serve! Delicious 😋 What do you get out of this scripture?? Tell us below 👇 Luke 22:18-20

📖 Scripture: “We do not lose heart… for we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 When clarity fades, faith carries you. Keep moving even when the path is dim!! — He’s still guiding. 🪞 Reflection: What area feels uncertain, and how can you keep trusting there? 🙏 Practice Step: Write down one truth you do know about God and stand on it today.
