Todays devotional reading bothered me somewhat by using the term legacy as a theme. I understand the intent, and that we often allow our practice of celebrating Easter to become rote, tradition, or a family practice. It’s very easy to do the same in my daily life, allowing what was once a personal passion to become something I merely practice. But as you and I discover the depth and challenge of knowing Christ, tradition and ‘practice’ seem like idolatrous words. Knowing Him, experiencing His Word come alive, and sensing His Spirit within verify that Christ as indeed risen from the dead.
If our faith in Jesus Christ isolates us from those who need him, there’s something wrong with our faith—and our love.
Warren W. Wiersbe, The Cross of Jesus
