Listening to: "You are the one" - Keith Green, remixed by J. Upton
I love the mornings sometimes, especially when i can be still and listen. The theme of this year for me is Back to Basics. I am learning a gratefulness for the cross and the resurrection in a way that i had never experienced before. It is changing my life.
This morning I read out of my d. bonhoeffer devo, "A Morning Blessing"
But early on Easter morning Christ emerged victorious from the grave. "Ere yet the dawn has filled the skies/Behold my Savior Christ arise,/He chases from us sin and night,/And brings us joy and life and light. Halleluia."
So sang the church of the Reformation. Christ is the "Sun of Righteousness," who has risen upon the expectant congregation (Mal 4:2) and they who love him will be like the sun when it rises in its strength (Judges 5:31). The early morning belongs to the church of the risen Christ. At the break of light it remembers the morning on which death, the devil, and sin were brought low in defeat, and new life and salvation were given to human beings.
Amen and Amen
