"He is the risen Lord, and His love is meant to change us. It should move us toward repentance, gratitude, covenant loyalty, and a deeper seriousness about following Him. Anything less is too small for what Easter actually proclaims." Amen.
Matt@MattTestifies

I think people sometimes hear #GreaterLove and imagine a message that is warm, reassuring, and easy to absorb. But the love of Christ is more serious than that. His love did not ignore sin. It paid for it. His love did not excuse brokenness. It entered into it so that healing could actually be possible. His love did not leave people where they were. It opened the way for them to become something holy through Him. That is what makes Easter so powerful. The Son of God did not stand at a distance and tell us He cared. He descended beneath all things. He took suffering upon Himself in a way none of us can fully comprehend, and then He rose again so that death would never have the final word. That is greater love. Not sentimental love. Redeeming love. And that is why I struggle with versions of Christianity that reduce Jesus to a comforting symbol. Christ is not here to decorate our lives with inspiration. He is the risen Lord, and His love is meant to change us. It should move us toward repentance, gratitude, covenant loyalty, and a deeper seriousness about following Him. Anything less is too small for what Easter actually proclaims.

Satan’s tools—materialism, lust, and pride—bind hearts in chains of gold and sin. (See 1 Nephi 13:7–9) Christ's power can break those chains. He offers freedom, peace, and eternal joy. Choose Him today. Let Him break the chains so you can be free.

@MattTestifies As a HS ELA teacher, who framed instruction around writing, your notebooks prove much of my hope for students: writing is thinking, discovery, learning what we want to convey.

One day, all of God’s children will kneel and confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer, the Savior of the world. They will know that He died for them. On that day it will be clear that His is the only voice that ever really mattered.

This is the truth--and cycling outdoors is pretty awesome, too!

If there was one book that would be required reading of every high school student in America what book would you choose? I know this will be hard, but you can only choose one! I’m going to pick “Night” by Elie Wiesel.

Dr. King’s legacy reminds us that education is more than just academics. It’s inspiring students to make a positive impact. 🙌 Thank you to every educator who instills in their students the values of empathy, justice, and service that Dr. King championed. 🙏 #MLKDay #Education

I’ve lost a lot of followers and teacher friends this week. Any teachers staying put here? Can the connections still happen here?

Our @BridgeportISD secondary literacy educators kicked off this week’s summer literacy institute with @AmyRass by crafting a beautiful piece of poetry together. Grateful for teachers who take risks and seek continuous improvement.
