The Day After Easter

So now the brightly colored eggs and chocolate bunnies have been eaten and the Easter ham leftovers stowed away in the fridge. In our part of the world many planned Easter activities had to be cancelled or moved indoors because of the weather. I guess for many that was a disappointment because their plans had to be altered or scrapped.
Looking ahead to tomorrow and beyond, what will Easter mean on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and next month and the month after that? Is it really about one Sunday in April every year when families get together to hide colored eggs and share time together and "go to church" to hear the annual Easter program?
Jesus arose from the grave for a truly GREAT reason that has nothing to do with eggs and ham and new clothes to wear and family gatherings. None of those things is bad, UNLESS, that is all we allow Easter to be, a hijacked pagan holiday that is celebrated and forgotten tomorrow.
What will I do tomorrow because Jesus arose from the grave? Will I really allow Jesus to live out through me what He had planned from the creation of the world? OR will Easter be a once-a-year event that, when its over, I put it all away until next April?
Satan hatched a plan to circumvent the plan of God by killing his Son in the most public and cruel way possible. He thought he had won but learned too late that God had already accomplished his plan. Attempting to thwart God's plan by killing his Son was like blowing on the cottony bloom of a dandelion. All Satan did was disperse the seeds of life that are carried on the wind throughout the world by the new Body of Jesus Christ - his faithful disciples.
The day after Jesus' resurrection he began the final 40 day training program to prepare his Apostles for the MISSION ordained by the Father from the creation of the world. What they put in motion on that Pentecost day in Jerusalem is still the only real vision and purpose for Jesus' body today, his church. We are the dandelion that Satan cannot contain all because of Jesus' resurrection. HALLELUJAH!
