There is no Death; The Son of God has Risen!
M-28.4 All living hearts are tranquil with a stir of deep anticipation, for the time of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no death. The Son of God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. (ACIM)
2 Timothy 1:10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
Revelation 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain.”
During this Lenten Season let us not focus on the Crucifixion of God’s Son, but on His lesson that “There is no Death, The Son of God is free” (W-163) Easter is a sign of peace and not a sign of pain . My Lenten devotion will be to offer my brothers and sisters “the gift of lilies instead of a crown of thorns”. (T-20.I:2) Love instead of fear, forgiveness instead of judgment!
Easter is a time of joy and with that let us pray:
Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in, everything. We live and move in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen. (W-163.9)

What good is it my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? So faith by itself, if it has no works is dead. James 2:14, 17
I often have a conversation about this verse with my brother, who is a born again Christian and a deacon in the Southern Baptist church. He KNOWS that we are justified by faith alone and that hell is full of people who have done good works but who did not have faith in Jesus. Often times, I wonder if he thinks I am going to be one of them! I, on the other hand, do of course, believe that our faith in Jesus and God is a very necessary part of our Christian life, however I do believe our faith should be manifested in good works to help our community and our world. These good works, I believe, are a sign of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As a United Methodist, I believe, we carry out the work of Jesus and the apostles and deacons and early Christians every time we help others in any way. It is our faith in action and in no way takes the place of our faith in thought. However, I can’t accept that I can just think myself a Christian and live the Christian life without actually LIVING as a Christian in the world. By love and acceptance and by helping those who need us, we are bringing the good news of Christ to them in a tangible way. Who knows where that may lead them and us!

For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing. Deuteronomy 2:7
The passage below is from the book “streams in the desert” by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman. The author is unknown.
Is there some problem in your life to solve,
Some passage seeming full of mystery?
God knows, who brings the hidden things to light.
He keeps the key.
Is there some door closed by the Father’s hand
Which widely opened you had hoped to see?
Trust God and wait—for when He shuts the door
He keeps the key.
Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet,
Or answered NOT as you had thought ‘twould be?
God will make clear His purpose by-and-by.
He keeps the key.
Have patience with your God, your patient God,
All wise, all knowing, no long tarrier He,
And of the door of all thy future life
He keeps the key.
Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest,
To know of EVERY door He keeps the key.
That He at last when just HE sees ’tis best,
Will give it THEE.
-Anonymous.
