Loveland Ski Area, Colorado

Every knee shall bow.

I don't ski that much, maybe four to six times a year but once I store my skis at the end of the season I know that they aren't coming out for a while.  The end of ski season is difficult.  

Granted, I'm looking forward to hiking, gardening and watching baseball games but living in Colorado and skiing on some of the best snow in the world makes it hard to give up skiing.  I'm not a great skier, just an average skier, but there is something amazing about sliding down freshly groomed trails no matter your ability.

There is something appealing about celebrating Jesus' resurrection otherwise it wouldn't make sense that worship attendance nearly doubles on Easter Sunday.

"Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." Philippians 2:9 New Living Translation

What we experienced in our houses of worship just over a week ago pales in comparison to what we'll experience on that day when every knee bows.  We don't have a clue what that day will be like.

We might have taken the Easter lilies out of our sanctuaries, choirs might be taking a break and pastors have foot surgery but when on the day Christ's return the celebration will never end...and we'll never grow tired of it.  

We will be forever in the sanctuary of Jesus.
