Judges 19-21; 2 Cor 4

In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit
Judges 21:25


In the time spoken of in the last few chapters of Judges is a horrible time. A time when men were destroying each other just for the sake of earthly pleasure. It appears to me these times are here again where both men and women are blatantly used and destroyed for the sake of pleasure. Our Society currently uses everything from pornography to adultery to homosexuality to distroy people. We are again in a time when people are not loved, but used, hurt and destroyed and some have the nerve to call that love. Paul says in 2 Cor 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. To some today is a day of celebrating by getting drunk and finding eggs and using this day as a day of the celebration of nothing and “everyone does as he sees fit.” For us it is a day of celebration of the resurrection of our Lord, the greatest event that ever happened to this world and just as on that day, most of the people missed the real event. They missed the fact that the tomb was empty the Lord had risen. Most of the world will celebrate today and will have missed the real celebration ‘He has Risen”

May you be blessed as you celebrate the risen Lord as he blesses you and yours
