Allow the Resurrection to transform every detail of our lives! Is Jesus living in my heart and if so is that what I am portraying to others? Are my actions portraying something like Mary did that first Easter before Jesus appeared to her - that Jesus appears to still be dead in my life?

He lives within my heart!” -Last line of the refrain of “He Lives” Songs Copyright Use by Permission of CCLI License #1604942 and CVLI License #20223648

The Pharisees had a different view of Jesus John 12:9-11  John 12:19 John 12:13b The same thing that happened to the crowd in Jesus’ day still happens today! Sarah Young in the devotional titled “Jesus Calling:” “Let My Light shine in you; don’t dim it with worries or fears. Holiness is letting Me live through you. Since I dwell in you, you are fully equipped to be holy. Pause before responding to people or situations, giving My Spirit space to act through you. Hasty words and actions leave no room for Me; this is atheistic living. I want to inhabit all your moments-gracing your thoughts, words, and behavior.”   So, what is our Lord challenging us to say/do? Don’t be like the crowd.
