In Matthew 6, we see Jesus showing compassion to the crowds that followed Him. He took the time to have them sit and rest, while He blessed food that had been provided by a boy’s lunch, passing it out to everyone who was there. What simple acts of kindness can you do that will bless someone’s life, before they even know it is God they are experiencing in that moment?

We have a hope in Jesus Christ and there is a power in the hope of the resurrection. It has the power to change us! It has the power to give us hope when things seem hopeless.

Some people run because they like to run. It's a great form of exercising. While running equipment has changed over the years, the clothing runners wear has not changed. They wear the least amount to limit resistance. This applies to our lives as we may need to simplify our life by eliminating time on our phone and other distractions. Another way to look at running is in Hebrews 12:1. It says, "Since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses let us run the race with endurance." God empathizes with our pain and rejection so we can run the race marked out for us; the set path. We need to finish what was clearly prepared for us whether marriage, raising children, or a specific life issue. As we simplify it helps us focus on what is really important, serving Christ Jesus, God, family, and friends.

As a follow up from his Easter message, Brett reads from John 20:1-3, 9-10. We can't live without loving relationships, purpose or hope. The power of the resurrection is that we have real hope. Some of that hope comes from changed lives. If you look at the first disciples and Paul, their lives were dramatically changed because of Christ and the resurrection. Our hope is a reasonable hope. Continue to ask questions and do the research on Jesus and the resurrection.

In Mark 5:21-43 we see two miraculous healings. One was the daughter of a synagogue leader and the other a woman suffering. The daughter's dad, Jairus, and the woman suffering came before Jesus. They were not afraid to approach Him. They believed in Him and what He could do. In the same way, we need to not be afraid to approach Jesus. No matter what has happened in your past, humbly approach Jesus. He loves you and cares for you. Do not fear, simply believe in Him.
