On "April Fool's Day"

I always find it sort of "fun" when the Holy Days (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday - and even Easter) fall on April 1. It's "fun" because it was God who played the biggest "joke" of all time more than 2,000 years ago when, by the power of the resurrection of His one and only Son, Jesus, God turned the grave into a gateway to eternal life; God "won" the most significant battle of all time with an eternal victory over the power of sin, death and the devil; and God takes what seems to be the end of Jesus' ministry and making it the beginning of the mission and ministry of the church.

There has never been a more significant turnaround in a story. There has never been a more significant victory. There will never be a time when satan can "get even."

So, blessings this Holy Weekend. And praise God for His victory, God's eternal "joke" on all the forces that oppose God and seek to enslave us.

Praise God, we know the "end of the story!"
