I always enjoy watching the little kids during the church’s Easter Egg Hunt. They come with their empty baskets and see the church grounds covered with tons of goodies for them to collect. This past Saturday I watched the two year olds in amazement. So many different personalities show themselves. There are those who have only one goal, fill the basket with whatever they can get their hands on. There are others who pick up a sucker, look it over, mull whether it’s something they want and either put it back on the ground or put it in their basket. By the time all the candy has disappeared from the hunt area, some have their buckets full to overflowing and others barely have anything in theirs. Yet both seem very happy with what they have.
We came on Easter Sunday with our buckets ready to be filled. We celebrated the treasures of God in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection. Our buckets were filled with His love, peace, joy, salvation, right standing, Holy Spirit, inheritance, heaven. Our buckets have all the best goodies in them, “treasure with which we couldn’t be happier.”
Christ the Lord is risen indeed. Our Savior reigns. Hallelujah!!
