Easter Sunday 20^th April: Focus: Live each day with a focus on what is above. – Today we rejoice in the Lord’s resurrection, his victory over death. Through this victory, the Lord has opened the gates of heaven for us & offered us forgiveness of sins & eternal joy in his presence. This eternal destiny calls us to live always with a focus on what is above – to orient our earthly activities & concerns toward what is most conducive to a life of faith in the Lord.
