If Jesus had not risen, then our faith in God is not valid. But we know that Jesus had risen from the Cross and has all power in His hands. So, we thank the Lord for sending His Son to die for us and save us from our sind. We are grateful that Jesus has risen and we celebrate. The most valuable gift is the gift of salvation, the love of Christ that saves us from being separated from God's love. Let us be thankful, not just today but for the rest of our days.

Jesus laid His life down for us. The least we can do is to share that same love to our neighbors. We can love our neighbors by praying for them, meeting their needs, and being a source of encouragement in the time of need. If Jesus can love others well, we should follow that example. We should endeavor to share the love and compassion of Jesus with all of our neighbors, just not the people we think we should. Help us Lord to follow the example of loving and serving others like Jesus did.

If animals can talk, which animal do you think can be a complainer?

🌿 Myrrh What it did: Powerful antibacterial and antifungal. Slowed down decomposition. Strong earthy fragrance that masked odours. Why it was used: Think of myrrh like a natural “preserver + deodoriser.” 👉 On bed linen: It kept fabrics fresher longer and reduced smells from sweat or illness. 👉 On dead bodies: It helped delay decay, reduce bacteria, and make the body more presentable. 🌿 Aloes Deep, rich fragrance that lasted a long time. Helped absorb moisture. Mild antimicrobial effects. Why it was used: Aloes (not the aloe vera gel we think of today) was more like a luxury incense wood. 👉 On bed linen: It gave a lasting, calming scent—almost like ancient fabric freshener. 👉 On dead bodies: It helped dry and stabilise the body, while adding a dignified aroma. Simple picture: Like using both a deodoriser and a drying agent at the same time. Using costly spices showed respect, love, and honour for the person. 👉 Not just preserving a body… 👉 but showing how much they were valued.
