Today is ‘Resurrection Day’. It is the day that commemorates and celebrates this risen Savior, Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus has long been seen as the event that closed the gap between people and God forever, but we must remember that this day has to do with so much more that just us getting to heaven. Jesus was about bring heaven to earth. All throughout his life He demonstrated and made the way for the will of God to be realized on earth. Remember his prayer, "Your will be done on earth as it is on heaven". Can you imagine God’s will being fully done on earth? That is the way it was always suppose to be. The effect of the will of God on earth or anywhere is ‘shalom’. A friend of mine, Mark Nelson, says that ‘shalom’ is defined as ‘the way things ought to be’. This is our prayer for the women and children who come to The Restoration House, that they will see the resurrection of Jesus effecting every aspect of their lives. That single event is the most powerful demonstration of God desire for shalom throughout the whole world. May we be advocates for His will today and may we share the shalom of God by humbling ourselves in service to others.
