Ephesians 2
As we approach Easter, it is important to reflect on the message of Ephesians 2:10—that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ for good works. This verse reminds us that we have a purpose in our lives, that God has a plan for us, and that we are called to carry out good works for His glory.
Easter holds a special meaning for me, as it was the day that I truly opened my heart to the message of Christ. Watching the film Jesus of Nazareth, I felt a stirring in my heart that led me to seek out the truth about Jesus and to make changes in my life. Through His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, I was saved by His grace twenty-five years ago.
Since that day, Easter has remained a special day for me. It is a reminder that through Christ’s resurrection, I too have been given new life as a Christian. I am called to live out my faith by following His example and carrying out good works for His glory.
May we all be reminded of the message of Ephesians. Through Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection, we have been given new life in Him and we have been created in Christ for good works that glorify God. Let us use the time leading up to Easter as a time to reflect on our purpose, and to renew our commitment to carrying out good works for God’s glory.
And always for us at Ohrid Evangelical Church, we will have a special event this Easter to share the Good News that Jesus is risen! He is alive! I will also invite people to my home to have fellowship with them, rejoice and glorify God.
