A list of five bits of Good advice for Christians on Easter Sunday8

1. Christ’s death and Resurrection paid for the sins of everyone who has ever lived and gave us all a shot at heaven. This includes loony leftists to torch Teslas, Palestinian terrorists who slaughter Jews, Men who think they’re women and the Annoying neighbor whose dog shits on your lawn. He didn’t play favorites, he redeemed everyone, even you.
2. You have no idea when Christ will choose to touch people and when/if they will respond. There were a fair amount of Pharisees who became Christians and some of them likely were in favor of the Crucifixion before then. You would not have liked Matthew or Mary Magdalene the day before Christ touched them.
3. In the end you can’t force someone across the finish line. You can warn and advise the foolish bridesmaids as much as you want, you can point them to the oil store and even loan them a few bucks to buy it but it’s their responsibility to be ready.
4. If you spend all your time focusing on the sins of others you will likely miss your own redemption and be one of those who cried Lord Lord. Don’t be the guy who cries Lord Lord and doesn’t get into heaven.
5. It’s ok to not understand or to even doubt some things. The disciples who saw Jesus walk on water, raise the dead repeatedly didn’t understand and doubted and they were there. Worry about walking before you run.

None of these are easy to keep in mind or to accept but all of them are Christianity 101
