17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Easter is all about transformation. It’s about hope and glory and power seen in the Lord Jesus. It’s about his resurrection from the dead, the moment He crushed death itself under foot. It’s about the veil being torn, and the separation of God and man finally being bridged by the cross that our savior hung on. And because of this miraculous day, the most amazing day in history, we can be resurrected as well.
Believing in Christ is more than just words. It’s more than a simple prayer. It’s full transformation. It’s throwing off the old self, the dead body we drag around, and putting on the new self. We are new creatures in Christ Jesus, and I wanted to encapsulate that this Easter as my mind felt inspired to.
Praise Jesus for his death and resurrection, that we may have new life.

"Many Palestinian Christians are unable to celebrate Easter this year, as Israel’s bombardment of Gaza continues.
"Gaza’s Christian community of less than 1,000 people is facing threats of extinction. Palestinian Christian pastor Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac shares his message for the world about the plight of Palestinians this Easter." from AJ Plus, 31/Mar/2024:
I do hope that the dynamics between a delusional yakuza nepo baby, a British fiend who is basically the public schooling system, a dehumanized teenage girl with bomb powers, and an immortal assassin that has lost everything are VERY EXPLORED.
I want to see them all INTERACT. I don’t care if they hate or like each other I just know there’s history and a shared experience w being weapons & being brainwashed by Makima and I wanna see it 😭😭
I think part of why I love Chilchuk is because he is just so solidly a blue collar dude.
He got screwed over once and decided to form an entire ass labor union about it
Puts a firm value on his labor
Instinctually accepts that someone else leaving the party to take care of their finances isn’t a betrayal because the job isn’t your friendship
He is incredibly particular about his craftsmanship
And also his tools
Doesn’t like to mix work and his personal life
Cagey about how old he is because he’s in an industry we’re aging can be a liability
Warms up to Senshi once he starts seeing him as a fellow skilled tradesman
His dad drank himself to death and he still drinks heavily himself
“What? You can’t get drunk on this, it’s not strong enough.”
Fucked up his marriage because he spent too much time at work and was bad at emotional availability
Knows how to braid hair because he did it for his daughters
Has a daughter who is just mini him (and she’s the one who wears her hair in braids, my heart 🥺)
He’d fit right in with my father and my uncles and my coworkers, and I love that so much. Just a working class guy who’s in it because it’s his job and he took the money, so he’s gonna follow through.
