Palm Sunday is coming up on April 13th. As we remember Jesus’ triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, riding a donkey over the palm branches spread along His path, we also look ahead to Easter, which will fall on April 20th this year. Reflecting on past Easters, we recall how Heather and Jessie often prepared lamb for our family meal, while we brought along our apple mint jelly—carefully saved and ready for the occasion, sometimes months in advance. But of course, that’s not the only thing we love about Easter.
Another highlight is the music. Whether we sing "The Easter Song" or "Christ Arose" in church or at home, the joy of worship through song fills our hearts. Samantha sometimes plays the melody for us on her flute, while Heather adds a few chords on the piano, creating a beautiful atmosphere of celebration.
In the worship video above, the congregation sings praises to Jesus, expressing their love and devotion through song. This is a great time of celebration in the Christian community of faith.
Revelation 1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
