This is an Easter cake I made for our family get-together today. It is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Hope you are enjoying spending time with family this Easter weekend. For my family, it is a weekend to remember how Jesus bore our sins on the cross. But the story doesn't end there! Today he rose from the grave! If he didn't rise from the grave and there was no resurrection, what hope would we have? He is risen. He is risen, indeed!
As the late Billy Graham said in his devotional, The Hope of Resurrection:
"There is hope that mistakes and sins can be forgiven. There is hope that we can have joy, peace, assurance, and security in the midst of the despair of this age. There is hope that Christ is coming soon—this is what is called in Scripture “the blessed hope.” There is hope that there will come some day a new heaven and a new earth, and that the Kingdom of God will reign and triumph. Our hope is not in our own ability, or in our goodness, or in our physical strength. Our hope is instilled in us by the resurrection of Christ".
