 PASTOR'S WEEKLY PONDERING

I know spring is here when I hear the chatter of the barn swallow.
I brought a little one in from the barn window this evening because it had been caught between the window and a piece of plexiglass in front of it. These amazing birds just flew in from Argentina, I believe it is, to the very barn where they grew up last summer!
Jeremiah 8:7 says "the swallows observe the time of their coming but my people do not know the judgment of the Lord." Psalm 84:3 reminds us that they also find a place for their nest. I have several nests in my barn. Some of their little ones let me 'pet' their heads shortly before leaving their net, and will 'greet' me when they come back. Today I was greeted by them.
Not only is spring here, but so is Easter and Passover. A clerk in the bank let my wife know that she had too much preparations to make for Easter to also make time for a church service. Yet it is the resurrection which provides us the POWER to SAVE  us to enter heaven (( Corinthians 15:1-4). It is the resurrection which provides the power of Jesus  to SECURE our salvation as His sheep, John 10. In the end, the resurrection of Jesus also gives Him the authority to SUBDUE all authorities and powers to God - even death and Satan. 
"But  thanks be to God Who gives us the victory  through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" I Corinthians 15:57-58. Praise God for Easter!
