Easter...what's it really about?

What is Easter about? God sent Jesus Christ, His son, to live among us, and when it came time, He died for us. Jesus knew He would die for mankind. Because He was crucified on the cross, He paid for all sins, not just some, but ALL. Does that mean we can all choose to do wrong and go to heaven? No...not like that. If we do wrong and are truly sorry for what we did, we can ask Jesus into our life, Jesus’ blood pays for our sins, God will forgive us.

Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Acts 15:11 says, "We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are." Romans 5:1 &2 says, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." Amen! I am thankful for my savior!


If you don’t know Jesus as your personal savior, or know of Him, but don’t KNOW Him, and love Him, I would like to pray for you. Please send me a message especially if you read the prayer below and have questions, OR sincerely say this prayer: "Lord, I believe that you sent Jesus, the Son of God, to die for my sins and has risen from the dead, please forgive me for what I’ve done. I want to live my life for you, not for me anymore. I do not deserve to go to heaven because I was born a sinner. Take me to heaven when I die. Thank you God for your grace and mercy. Guide me Holy Spirit, to make decisions according to your will for my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen." If you prayed that prayer, and believe in your heart, that Jesus is your savior, let me be the first to welcome you to the Kindom of God! In the the Book of John, chapter 14, verse 6, Jesus says, "I am the way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father exept through me." Send me a message if you’ve just excepted Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life, and your loving savior! I’d love to hear from you.

I encourage you, especially if you have never seen it, to watch "The Passion of The Christ". He died for you, the very least you could do is watch the movie and see what He endured so that you can go to heaven, if you choose to accept that gift. Church won't save us, being a good person won't save us, doing a lot of good things won't save us, giving a lot of money won't save us, even just reading the Bible a lot won't save us. We need a relationship with Jesus Christ, who forgives our sins, and we need to repent, to turn away from our sins and turn to Christ for true salvation.

It’s Friday. Jesus is arrested in the garden where He was praying. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. The disciples are hiding and Peter’s denying that he knows the Lord. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. Jesus is standing before the high priest of Israel, silent as a lamb before the slaughter. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. Jesus is beaten, mocked, and spit upon. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. Those Roman soldiers are flogging our Lord with a leather scourge that has bits of bones and glass and metal, tearing at his flesh. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. The Son of man stands firm as they press the crown of thorns down into his brow. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. See Him walking to Calvary, the blood dripping from His body. See the cross crashing down on His back as He stumbles beneath the load. It’s Friday; but Sunday’s a coming.
It’s Friday. See those Roman soldiers driving the nails into the feet and hands of my Lord. Hear my Jesus cry, "Father, forgive them." It’s Friday; but Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. Jesus is hanging on the cross, bloody and dying. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. The sky grows dark, the earth begins to tremble, and He who knew no sin became sin for us. Holy God who will not abide with sin pours out His wrath on that perfect sacrificial lamb who cries out, "My God, My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?" What a horrible cry. But Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. And at the moment of Jesus’ death, the veil of the Temple that separates sinful man from Holy God was torn from the top to the bottom because Sunday’s coming.
It’s Friday. Jesus is hanging on the cross, heaven is weeping and hell is partying. But that’s because it’s Friday, and they don’t know it, but Sunday’s a coming.
And on that horrible day 2000 years ago, Jesus the Christ, the Lord of glory, the only begotten Son of God, the only perfect man died on the cross of Calvary. Satan thought that he had won the victory. Surely he had destroyed the Son of God. Finally he had disproved the prophecy God had uttered in the Garden and the one who was to crush his head had been destroyed. But that was Friday.
Now it’s Sunday. And just about dawn on that first day of the week, there was a great earthquake. But that wasn’t the only thing that was shaking because now it’s Sunday. And the angel of the Lord is coming down out of heaven and rolling the stone away from the door of the tomb. Yes, it’s Sunday, and the angel of the Lord is sitting on that stone and the guards posted at the tomb to keep the body from disappearing were shaking in their boots because it’s Sunday, and the lamb that was silent before the slaughter is now the resurrected lion from the tribe of Judah, for He is not here, the angel says. He is risen indeed.
It’s Sunday, and the crucified/resurrected Christ has defeated death, hell, sin and the grave. It’s Sunday. And now everything has changed. It’s the age of grace, God’s grace poured out on all who would look to that crucified lamb of Calvary. Grace freely given to all who would believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary was buried and rose again. All because it’s Sunday.
