Happy Resurrection Day!

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interest of others.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.”
Phil 2:3 -11

What an awesome day! A day to focus and celebrate the inconceivable gift of relationship with God. An incredible price was paid for our access to the Father! May we never take this relationship and access to His very throne room lightly. May we have the same mind (attitude) that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, exhibited. I want to be a humble, empty, non-grasping servant of God.
