I was raised on the day of "First Fruits." This is the day ordained by My Father to present the first fruits of the spring harvest. A sheaf of the first fruits of the harvest was brought to the priest. He then waved the sheaf before My Father on the day after the Sabbath. Then the priest offered a lamb without blemish for a burnt offering unto My Father.
I am both the Passover lamb and the lamb without blemish that was offered as a sacrifice to celebrate the Feast of First Fruits. No man took My life. I laid it down willingly as the perfect sacrifice that was acceptable to My Father. I was the first to be resurrected to never die again. When I died, you died. When I was raised, you were raised to newness of life.
I am the first fruit of many brethren. At the sound of My voice all those who believe in Me shall be raised from the grave just as I was raised to never die again. I am the resurrection and the life. Rejoice today because you will one day have a new body that will never die.

DESTINY
It helps you throughout your years on this earth to know what your destiny is. There are so many who have no knowledge of their destiny. They live from one event to another without purpose and promise. I died to give the whole world a destiny.
My Father so loved the world that He gave Me to provide the perfect sacrifice. Whoever believes in Me has eternal life. I did not come into the world to condemn the world. I came to give the world a sure destination after they leave this earth.
As you are in this season that celebrates My resurrection, thank Me for the sure destiny that I have given you. Your physical body will die, but I tasted death for you. Now you do not have to dread departing from this earth. When you take your last breath, you will be face to face with Me for all eternity. Eternity with Me is your destiny, and you began enjoying this destiny the moment you believed in Me.
JOHN 3:16-17

FINAL
There is something about the word, "final," that causes you to breathe a sigh of relief. The course you took in school concluded with the last final. You were able to toss that text book away, and prepare yourself for the next course. Athletes rejoice when they reach the final lap and cross the finish line. You even rejoice when you are able to finish your work and finally rest for a little while.
My work of redemption was done when I breathed My last breath and delivered My Spirit into the hands of My Father. The plan of redemption was finished and I even said, "It is finished." The way was paved for all who would believe in Me to have their sins removed. I became sin so that you now can be accepted as righteous before My Father.
There is coming a day when the final trumpet will sound and those who believe in Me will be raised. Mortality will be clothed in immortality. You will receive a new body fit to live in My Kingdom forever. The final curtain will fall on earth when the heavens are rolled up like a scroll. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. There will then be no final end, only eternity lived forever with Me.

RELAX
You live in an age when few people find time to just relax and enjoy the moment. The work place is filled with hurry and worry. Even home life can be filled with tense moments if relationships are not in harmony. This is why I gave the invitation to come to Me. That invitation was given to all those who labor and are heavy laden. When you come to Me and cast every care upon Me, I am able to infuse you with My peace.
I exhorted believers to not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will present another set of problems. One set of problems per day is enough for you to bear. However, I do not even want you to be pressed down by any problem you may face today and all of your tomorrows. My burden is light. This means that I am able to shine a light on every problem you experience during the day. When My light shines on problems, you will receive wisdom, understanding, and the knowledge you need to enlighten you and help you solve the problem at hand.
Instead of getting in a whirl of worry over the problems that you may face today, release those problems to Me and then relax. You will be able to hear from Me, and then I will give you the revelation knowledge that will help you to know what to do and what to say when problems come your way.

ENJOY
I want you to enjoy Me forever. I also want you to enjoy My presence with you daily. In My presence is fullness of joy. I know you cannot see Me, but I dwell within you. When I told My disciples on that last fateful supper with them to abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love, I was revealing the secrets of having a joyful life no matter what circumstances you may experience.
When I finished My teachings that night, I said, "These things I have told you that your joy may be full and that My joy will remain in you." I knew that the only way they would be able to get through the trials that lay ahead of them was to depend upon My joy to strengthen them moment by moment.
Today and every day recall what I taught on that fateful night and obey that teaching. When you do this, you will not only have a blessed day, but you will have a day filled with My joy. Enjoy your day.

PERSPECTIVE
I desire for you to have My Father's perspective as you journey this life. When you see things and people as My Father sees them, your life will be filled with peace, joy, and My love. When My Father sees people, He sees them as treasures. He wants those treasures to come near to Him. I have already paid the price for each treasure when I died on the cross to take away the sins of the world. That price was My very own blood. Many of these treasures on earth, however, will refuse to come to Me and believe in Me.
When My Father sees things, He sees that everything above the earth, below the earth, and in the heavens were created by Me and for Me. My Father sees you as a steward of all that I have created. People are much more important to My Father than things. In the end of this age everything will be burned and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.
When My Father sees you, He sees Me. He loves you just as much as He loves Me. When you see things with My Father's perspective, you will never be possessive of things. You will never feel like you are unworthy or unloved. You will also see others as treasures. Ask My Father daily to give you His perspective on life.

CLEANSING
I overthrew the tables of the money changers in the Temple. They were selling blemished animals for sacrifice. I exclaimed loudly, "It is written, My house shall be called house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves." I no longer abide in a Temple made with hands. I abide in the temple of your body. Your temple is now a house of prayer.
I provided the perfect, unblemished sacrifice that My Father accepted as remission for your sins, past, present, and future. When My blood was shed, I made it possible for those who receive and believe in Me to be cleansed by My blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.
During this Passover Season, daily offer your body to Me as a living sacrifice. I will then be able to bring to your remembrance anything that you might need to confess to Me. I have already cleansed you and I have already forgiven you. However, when you confess your sins, you place yourself in a position to receive and acknowledge My cleansing and forgiveness. Allow My Holy Spirit to help you keep the temple of your body undefiled.
