Think about the disciples during the time of Jesus' death. It must've been confusing and saddening when he died. But His resurrection was a sign of victory. He is the Savior. Their hearts must have been beating fast. Their hearts of doubt became hearts of rejoicing. Then Jesus commands them to spread the news of Himself, they must have been ecstatic and eager to tell the world about Him.
What if that happened today? Do I feel the same? Do I get ecstatic for the hope I know is good news? Does it feel like Christ ascended yesterday and is alive in my heart? It makes me think differently about homework, studies, papers as I am a student right now. Do I just do it to get it done? Is it for the temporal satisfaction or for the furthering of God's kingdom?
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
