On the first Easter morning, three women found an empty tomb. The discovery left them trembling and afraid. They didn’t know there was more — a resurrected Lord.
Later that day, the risen Jesus appeared. As happy as the disciples were about this miracle, they didn’t yet know there was more — a gift of the Holy Spirit that would make their joy complete.
Early Christians in Corinth were so delighted by the gift of baptism that they could scarcely imagine there was more — the resurrection of the body to eternal life.
As great as Easter is, it’s only the “first fruits” of what lies ahead. Celebrate the fact that Christ is risen, but remember that the best is yet to come!

Thanks, Bonnie, for all the excellent devotional material that you've been putting on the blog through the Lenten and Easter season. There's a good variety of interesting things. I've heard that some people even tried your hot cross bun recipe. Thanks for enriching our lives by providing these devotionals.
