The number of infected people are growing each day, unemployment numbers are record high, pretty much all businesses are closed, people are ordered to stay home, it doesn’t look like it’s getting better anytime soon and there are so much uncertainty ahead of us.
In times like this, full of difficulties and uncertainties, we must remember God’s righteous and love for His people.
In Old Testament, people built altars or monuments to remember God’s presence among them and it helped them during the time of crisis in their nation. And right now our nation, our world is in crisis due the virus.
And what better ways to remember God’s righteous and love than Easter!
Easter actually follows Leviticus 23 and it was called ‘Feast of First Fruit’ in Old Testament. Which begins by ‘Passover’ then follows by ‘Feast of Unleavened Bread’ and then ‘Feast of First Fruit’ (Easter) happens in-between those two festivals. It’s three festivals together in 8 days and this year, Passover is on April 8 and lasts till sundown on April 16.
As we celebrate Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of First Fruit; Easter all together, let’s be Thankful for the life we have in Jesus because of His death and resurrection, Pray for those that are going through difficult times and remind them we are in this together and Share hope in Jesus Christ for this is not the end for us for He is with us!
