Fruits of the Resurrection are real.

Easter VI Sunday we again hear scriptures that lift our vision to the power and grace available to us who believe in the risen Jesus Christ. In the first reading from the Book of Revelation we will here of the names of those who are written in the Lamb's Book --That is you! Not by our own merits, but by the gift given us in Jesus Christ! You are known and recorded as one of God's own! The reading from Acts shows us the great healings and deeds that Paul, a disciple twenty years after the resurrection, was powerfully able to do by faith. Wow! He healed a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet in fact he had never walked. When Paul told him, Stand upright on your feet. He did. Belief in Jesus Christ heals people! Still does! In our gospel lesson from JOHN we will hear Jesus" strong reassuring words, Peace I leave with you; my peace I leave with you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

Oh, do we need the peace of the lord in our lives! Pray. Talk with your love and life, Jesus, throughout each day. Even in the challenges and turmoil of each day, he wants to give you the love and peace of heaven so that you can act with grace and his love in all things. Wow! What a gift to us by his resurrection
