God’s healing at Easter
Many of us seek and pay attention to the last words and actions that preceded someone’s death. These are usually very significant especially to those who are left behind. Christ had many last words for His followers. Knowing that His hour was at hand, He took time to teach, admonish, and equip the disciples one more time. All this took place at the Feast of the Passover.

As Christ prepared the disciples for His death, He reinforced to them the importance of being servants if they were to be effective in spreading the gospel. He demonstrated it by washing their feet in John chapter 13. He addressed their fears as He assured them of the place He was going to prepare for them before coming back for them. He would not leave them comfortless either. The Spirit of truth would abide with them. (John chapter 14) In John chapter 15, He taught them the secret of abiding in the vine and being fruitful in a world that would easily lure and wage war against their hearts. Knowing that the disciples were human, frail, and prone to the pressures of an enticing world, Christ unfolded to them the other part of Himself that safeguards and guides all believers despite their age, aptitude, or geographical location. They had a Helper, and a Comforter who would indwell them.
God cares for you. Let God make you whole. Let Him restore your soul, heal you, and give you peace and joy to face each day. You have a Savior who loves you.
Make this Easter a time of true reconciliation and get back to God.

A. Make Jesus your Lord and Savior.
Christ came to seek and to save the lost. (Matthew 18:11) You can have peace with God. You can be reconciled to God. This is the ultimate reason why Christ came to earth. He was God, yet He did not consider equality with God something onto which to grasp to His advantage. Instead, “He made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” so He would atone for us sins.
He who believes in Him is not condemned but is passed from death unto life.
How do we do this?
We come to terms with our sinfulness, turn from it unto Christ, in faith believing in the atoning power of Jesus’ blood that washes even the vilest man clean. We choose to follow. We make a deliberate choice by the act of our will to follow Christ and walk in the newness of life resulting from simple obedience to His Word. God’s powerful Word continues to cleanse us as we follow our new found Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. His Word lights our path, directs, teaches, trains, corrects, and establishes us in righteousness as God thoroughly equips us in life.

B. Let Christ Heal You. There is healing for you today.
The Passover was a feast where the Jewish people commemorated their freedom from over four hundred years of slavery in Egypt. This was a celebration of the great exodus where God confirmed His Word to Moses in Exodus 3:7-8 saying: “I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.” By God’s great and outstretched hand, over 2,000,000 Israelites were set free and they left for the Promised Land—Canaan.
Christ has not stopped caring for His children. As He did for the disciples back then, He has the same admonition for you and me today. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Yes, God sees your affliction. He hears your cry. He knows your sorrow. Tell Him with what your heart is burdened. He cares for you. He loves you.
He came to set you free. Listen. Hear and follow Him. You serve a risen Savior who triumphantly rose from death and lives forever. Walk in the newness of life unto which you were bought. Depart from sin and live victoriously.

Yes! He is alive! He is Risen!
