As we step into this Easter season, we’re reminded of a powerful truth: God is still delivering His people.
From Passover to the resurrection of Jesus, Scripture tells one continuous story of freedom, restoration, and hope. In today’s Easter devotional, Bishop D. G. Hargrove invites us to reflect on that story—and to recognize that we are living in it right now.
“This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” (Psalm 118:23)
Today’s Devotional Thought
Psalm 113 reveals something deeply personal about God—He is not distant. He is a God who stoops low to lift people up.
In the Exodus story, Israel was helpless. They were poor, barren, and oppressed. But God stepped into their reality. He delivered them from bondage and brought them into a place of promise.
As Bishop Hargrove shares, this moment in history points us directly to Jesus.
Jesus humbled Himself and came to us. He entered into our brokenness and, through His death, burial, and resurrection, brought us out of the bondage of sin and death.
This is what we celebrate during this season—the new Exodus.
We were once bound. We were once prisoners. But now, because of the resurrection of Jesus, we are living in victory. Not only that, we carry the promise of something even greater ahead—eternal life with Him.
What This Means for Us
This message isn’t just something we believe—it’s something we live.
Whether you’re in Garland, TX or nearby communities like Murphy, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett, or Wylie, life can sometimes feel heavy. There are moments when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or defined by our past.
But Easter reminds us: God specializes in bringing people out.
Across Dallas County, Collin County, and Rockwall County, people are discovering that hope in Christ is not just an idea—it’s a reality.
Because of Jesus:
- You are no longer bound by your past
- You are not powerless
- You are not without purpose
This is the heart of every Christian devotion during this season—God has made a way for new life in Jesus.
And just like Israel, we are now a people who have been brought out… and raised up.
A Moment to Reflect
Take a moment today to pause and reflect:
- Where have I seen God deliver me in my own life?
- What areas do I still need to trust Him to bring me out of?
- How can I live more fully in the freedom and faith and encouragement He has given me?
Look What the Lord Has Done
When you begin to reflect on your life, you start to see it clearly:
Look what the Lord has done.
He delivered Israel from Egypt.
He raised Jesus from the grave.
And He is still transforming lives today.
This is the message of every Easter devotional—a God who doesn’t leave us in our brokenness but brings us into victory.
We are the new Exodus people.
So as we move closer to Easter, don’t just remember what God has done—share it. Your story of deliverance could be the very thing that brings someone else hope.
