This Easter must have been the BEST Easter I have ever had. Having been in church my whole life, I feel like this Easter I learned so much about the meaning of Jesus' Death. How awesome it is that we now have access to God, to the "Holy of Holies" where, before the death of Jesus, only a selected few were allowed to go to meet with God. But it is not only that, which makes me so amazed. Imagine God spending time with Adam and Eve in the Garden and then kicking them out and never being able to have a relationship with people again, except the few. When the curtain was torn, it was not only us who had access to God BUT now He also has access to all of us. Isn't that such an awesome thought.
This morning a mom of one of our 4 year olds' told a very touching story. I was so touched by it that tears filled my eyes. I have her permission to share the story with you all. I believe this was a real encounter with God.
Tuesday morning (2 days after the Easter Sunday) 6:30 am when the 4 year old woke up she ran to the mom and said: "Last night I asked Jesus into my heart and HE FILLED ME UP!!! And then I asked Jesus to fill my brother and sister too."
4 year old filled with Jesus!
When I was a little girl, Jesus also came to my room. I saw Him with my eyes. I believe this little girl met Jesus in a concrete way. Remember, the curtain, the vail, is open to the presence of God. And it is not too late for any of us to run to Jesus. I hope you, too, do that today!
