Well today is officially Easter here in Australia. You know what I love the most about Easter? The fact that its origins are directly and undeniably pagan yet my King came and reclaimed it for Himself and for our redemption to the Father in Heaven. Talk about a hostile takeover hey :) By dying and coming back to life over Easter - Jesus completely and totally railroaded it's origins and rewrote the history books to make it all about the salvation of mankind and His power and authority as the King. He is the Ultimate Reclaimer. In His act of death He made the captivity that held us as slaves since the beginning His own captive. The most ferocious, blood thirsty, man-eating hounds of hell are now led on a lead and told to sit and stay by my King like little puppy dogs. That's the power He holds - the power of restoration. The keys to death and hell now belong to my King! That day the tables turned and not only was it the greatest victory won for mankind - it was simultaneously the most immense loss suffered by our enemy the devil. My King died for me and showed me the true meaning of love. Sacrifice. He won the war that day... and not just by a small margin - it was a complete and total annihilation! A victory so vast, so extravagant, so dominant and so all-encompassing that it was embarrassing to our enemy and all his ranks. My Jesus still holds all that same power to reclaim blind, broken salves to be shining, bold sons and daughters of His Kingdom. He hasn't lost a drop of that power since that day and as a matter of fact He's coming back to finish the war one day in even more power and authority... but this time He reclaims everything that belongs to Him. Have an awesome Easter because we have an awesome King who lives and reigns forever and ever. This is Jesus... the Saviour of the World!
