COVID 19 and Easter, 2020 | SELMA DEAN TEAM

Please follow and like us:

Global cancellations of Easter church services are happening this weekend. More sadly, too many people are coping with the death and illnesses of family and friends.

But despite how the pandemic has changed our world, these seven happenings will still occur this Easter.

Read on

Jesus still lives. As a young man, Jesus taught masses of people about God’s will for man. He also healed the masses from spiritual, physical, and emotional bondages. At age 33, Jesus’ claim to be the only Son of God led to his brutal execution. After his death and burial, Jesus became alive again. Following his miraculous resurrection, Jesus later ascended from Heaven, where He lives forever(Luke 24:2-3, NLV).
God still loves you. You can never earn God’s love. It is free for everyone. You must decide, however, whether or not to accept God’s love. You accept God’s great love for you when you believe in Him and obey His commands (1John 4:16, KJV).
God will still forgive you. Living against the commands of God is called sin. If you sincerely want God’s forgiveness for sin in your life, He will forgive you. You only need to be willing to give up the sin and sincerely ask for forgiveness (2 Chronicles 7:14, NLT).
Eternal life is still available to anyone. Eternal life begins the moment you accept Jesus Christ as Savior and give yourself entirely to God. How is it possible to live forever? The body you live in now will eventually die. Upon death, your spiritual person will pass from life on Earth to eternal life with God. (John 5:24).
The fear of death is still conquered. Anxiety about dying (thanatophobia) can impact your life. The COVID-19 pandemic has recently heightened death anxiety. You can rest assured. Jesus proved death is not the end of life (John 11:25, NIV).
You are still empowered to change destructive habits. God wants you to be free of any toxic behaviors and unhealthy habits. The first step is to realize and then confess your need for help. Then pray for God’s guidance and healing. Keep trying and never give up (1 Corinthians 10:13, NLT).
Peace amid struggles is still available. Even Christ-followers do not always live peacefully. But God wants you to have peace of mind. The Bible is filled with scripture to help you discover peace amid your trouble. Listening to peaceful music is soul-soothing. Finding a quiet time to pray or meditate will also lead to a tranquil mindset(John 16:33, RSVCE).

Meanwhile, God gives us living benefits. They include fearlessness, peacefulness, and victorious living.

We celebrate Easter because Jesus is the resurrected Savior of the world. By accepting Jesus as the son of God and believing the Easter story, you will live forever.
