The power of love is greater than the love for power. Jesus was able to express his love on mankind through his suffering and humiliation on the cross. We know that our God is powerful but he is a loving God. In the scripture we read how he used his power to create the world , how he destroyed Sodom and Gomorra, he destroyed over 3,000 Pharaoh army in the red sea, the story of Noah and the Ark. Two thousand years ago God expressed his love for mankind that he gave his only begotten son to die for our sins. Just like one writer once said "humility is the ability to hold your power". Love and power cannot be expressed at the same time, God had to hold his power in order to show his love for you and I.

Willard Wallace from Walla Walla Washington discovered that, power has inverse relationship with love. When power increases love decreases. When love increases, power decreases. In life you can't exercise power and love at the same time. Nobody was strong enough to punish and kill the son of God. Jesus could have used his power at Calvary but he chose not to, So that his love for mankind can be manifested on earth.

As you celebrate this Easter it is good to remember : God had a son with no sin but he did not have a son without suffering, Jesus was born of Virgin Mary so that we can be born again, he suffered so that we can know that he understands and sympathizes when we suffer. he came to earth so that we can go to heaven and he died so that we can live. You know the value of something by how much you have to pay or give up to get it. Blood of Jesus is the cost of our salvation. Other people may not give Easter the attention it deserves because of their little knowledge and understanding. But for those who knows the weight it carries, let us express our love and appreciation through praise, worship and forgiveness.
