A couple week’s ago my sister, Mary, in CT wrote “Jesus loves you!” on
her driveway for hundreds of neighbors to see as they walked, biked or jogged
by her house. It inspired my son, James, to do something similar on our driveway.
He decided to reference his memory verse from Bible study, I Corinthians 15:20,
and summarized it with “He has risen!” Then, Sarah decided to write what she
could spell – “LOVE GOD.” (see the pictures of both) Since then, we’ve all done
different messages after the rain washed them away, including Palm Sunday!
My sister was trying to be a witness and offer encouragement to others by
writing the messages. God gave her encouragement in return, though, by having
someone leave 2 boxes of chalk on her rock wall out front! She doesn’t know who
they were from! It was like God said, “keep doing what you’re doing!”
At times like this, people are more open to hear the truths about:
God (Creator, Sustainer, and Judge of all)
Sin (separates us from God and results in destruction and death)
Jesus Christ (God’s Son, who paid for our sin and offers eternal life)
And the need to surrender our lives to Him because He’s in control
anyway!
I Corinthians 15:20-26 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the
firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of
the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he
comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to
God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under
his feet. 26 The last enemy to be
destroyed is death.
