Christ is risen!
Resurrection Day is past but the Easter season isn't over.
I encourage you to continue celebrating the Easter season as a family in some way. This season runs until Ascension Day May 30, which includes 5 more Sundays. Here are a few ways to "keep the feast."
1. Teach your children to respond joyfully to "Christ is risen!" with "He is risen indeed!" Say this to them a few times a day, maybe at mealtime or waking.
2. Have a special drink on the table each Sunday of the season. Even make "Christ is risen!" the toast, so to speak.
3. Practice joy. When you are tempted to gloominess, take a deliberately joyful act, remembering the resurrection of our Lord Jesus.
4. Study the resurrection more in the Reformed confessions:
- Westminster Confession of Faith 8.4
- Westminster Larger Catechism 51-52
- Heidelberg 45
- For something different, try the Second Helvetic Confession 11.10
May the Lord give you the joy of new life in Christ each day!
