Rejoice!
The psalmist writes,
"Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
Let them praise His name with dancing
and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
For the LORD takes delight in His people;
He crowns the humble with salvation.
Let the saints rejoice in this honour
and sing for joy on their beds."
Psalm 149:2-5.
Easter is on the way. The day Christians believe Jesus the Son of God died for their sins. While it must have been a traumatic for his mother and those who followed Jesus. Within just a few days. Jesus would rise from the dead.
As believers in Christ Jesus we believe that in sending Jesus to earth God was reaching down to mankind and saying in human terms this is how far I am willing to go to bring you to heaven.
While what we refer to as Good Friday was in human terms traumatic. Easter Sunday was most definitely a time for rejoicing. Jesus rose from the dead offering to all who would believe in Him atonement for their sins.
This is why we as believers in Christ Jesus should as much as we can do what the Psalmist states. Rejoice in God our Maker. Praise His name with dancing. Make music to Him. For He has taken our sins away.
If you consider yourself a Christian do you praise God frequently? Do you praise God enough?
Please thin about it.
