I saw people shouting “Nice shots!” when they hit the bullseye of a target when playing darts in the CNE booth. Because the player would award a prize for a big stuff toy. But in the psalm sings (Exodus 12:29) “the praises of “him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt.” It doesn’t that sound right to shout of “nice shot” at the expense of someone else’s mother, sister, father, brother.
Only when the lights come up in the resurrection of Jesus can the whole world be invited into the joy of one family’s stories, tears, and laughter. Only when we receive Jesus as our Savior and are made alive in Him can we share the wonder of a God who loves everyone—at His own expense.
