Jesus comes and stands among us. He lives!! Hallelujah!! ❤️ 💜

After he is resurrected, I imagine Jesus is talking with God, as he did all the time when he walked the Earth, and asking, “What is your will now, Father? How can I serve you?” And God maybe says “Go find your people and catch up with them. Tell them, remind them, all about me and my community of justice and love.” Can we catch up with people and remind them, tell them about God and God’s Kingdom each and every single day? ❤️ 💜

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and that life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overtake it. (John 1:1-5)

“Mary!” Jesus said. “Teacher!” she replied. And then she realized in a moment that he was alive. He lives! she knew. And we will also be sure about his eternal presence if we turn and see and recognize him beside us in everything. ❤️ 💜

“Here is your son! Here is your mother!” Let’s take care of each other and be family to one another! ❤️💖

These drawings depict a miracle at a wedding feast at Cana in Galilee … Jesus ensured the connection with God and God’s people continued and flourished. He helped the humans acknowledge God’s work and keep celebrating their union with Him–with joy and gratitude and love!! 💖 💜 ❤️

A woman from Samaria received LIVING WATER from Jesus. Then she went back to her community and shared it with them. They asked Jesus to stay some days with them, and they received LIVING WATER from him too. When we live with the GOOD NEWS and LIVING WATER of God, let’s not forget to share it with all the people we meet. It’s meant for and available to ALL THE WORLD!! Hallelujah!!

Jesus explained his parable about weeds in a fertile, bountiful field: “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man (that is, Jesus himself). The field is the world, and the good seeds are the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels … The Son of Man will send his angels, who will collect out of his kingdom all causes of wrong and all evil doers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire … Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!” (Matthew 13:36-43) ❤️💜

Jesus says, “Whoever doesn’t take up the cross and follow me doesn’t rate the name disciple. Those who find their own life will lose it, and those who lose their
life for me will find it.”

More than that, he explained how we should act: “Whoever welcomes you
welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me …
and whoever welcomes a just person in the name of a just person will receive the reward of justice, and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of
these little ones in my name—all of these will get their reward.” Praise God for the true, clear teachings of the Lord Jesus! ❤️ 💜
