Easter is more than just family gatherings and egg hunts - it's the celebration of Jesus conquering death through His resurrection. As we approach this holy day, we can learn from how Jesus Himself prepared for His death and resurrection.

This week, challenge yourself to:

• Identify specific people God has placed on your heart to share the gospel with
• Pray daily for opportunities to share your faith
• Establish a personal routine of spiritual preparation through prayer, Scripture, and worship
• Remember and meditate on what Jesus did for you

Ask yourself:

• Who in my life needs to hear about Jesus' love and sacrifice?
• What holds me back from sharing my faith?
• How can I better prepare my heart to celebrate Easter's true meaning?
• What spiritual disciplines do I need to strengthen in my daily walk with God?

The resurrection gives us hope that sustains us through all of life's challenges. As we prepare for Easter, let's follow Jesus' example by getting both ourselves and others ready to celebrate this transformative event.
