The Lord is Risen! He Has Risen Indeed!

HAPPY EASTER!!! I hope today during your Easter Egg Hunts, feasting on ham, and whatever other festivities you may have planned you do not forget the real reason we have a holiday called Easter. What is that real reason you may ask? The meaning behind Easter, the reason we have Easter, began some 3,000 years ago when the Son of God, an innocent, blameless man named Jesus, was crucified on the cross for all the sins of mankind and rose three days later. Easter is the day Jesus rose from the grave, conquering sin and death, allowing us sinners to personally connect with God. This connection allows us access to Heaven when we die, if we accept Christ into our hearts. Easter is a day to celebrate because Jesus is alive! He proved to mankind that death could not hold Him, and He gave us sinners the courage to fight the fear of sin together, becoming more than conquerors through Christ.

Easter in a few sentences? One Light invaded the darkness, and that one Life changed the world because Darkness could not snuff the Light out. The Life had spread His light too far and too deep into the hearts of mankind. On Easter we celebrate His life, because life for us is worth living because He rose and lives today!

Have a Blessed Easter!!! And never forget the real reason we have Easter to celebrate today.
