E.Umana here, I hope you are enjoying this Resurrection day. Jesus has risen and is alive forever more and all of us who put our faith and trust in him will do the same. Keep this in mind as you go about your day.

Here in america and much of the world, there is so much

turmoil, but as christians, we must look at things from an eternal view, knowing that all this is temporal and is

just a blip compared to eternity. It sort of reminds me of the biblical admonition to mourn (for a deceased loved one) but not like much of the

world who has no hope (ie they don’t believe in an afterlife from a biblical standpoint.) You frequently hear the term

“You only live once or You only have one life.”  which is plainly not true. On another note,Please say a prayer for my hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri,

where tornados ripped through the area, destroying nearly everything in its path including homes,businesses and the airport,which made the authorities issue a statement that they are closing the main airport indefinitely. You can give to the red cross specific to the Saint Louis Area at http://www.redcrossstl.org to help those who have lost everything and are in emergency shelters this easter.

We can sometimes get discouraged and say now that I have repented of my sin, shouldn’t the Lord protect me from misfortune or calamity?

Even christians who have repented are still on this planet and continue to sin and need forgiveness on a daily basis. The bible says that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, hence christians get cancer and face all the problems that

others who don’t believe face. But Jesus also said that he is coming quickly to give a reward to everyone according
to the works done in the flesh.

We must never take the view why would a loving God allow so much tragedy and turmoil to happen in the world, we might not be able to understand it on this side; but we must remember we are finite and he is infinite. He sees things we can’t see or understand.

God so loved the world
