In this season of 40 days of deeper devotion, we’re reminded that true devotion overflows into action: “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen…” (Isaiah 58) and “Faith by itself… is dead” (James 2:17). So this Easter, let’s embody Jesus’ love in tangible ways, that this season may be not just a time of celebration, but also action, compassion, and transformation that impacts those around us.
