During this holy time let us as Christians remember the real earth chattering events, leading up to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The true sacrifical lamb, and the pain in his heart of knowing that all this had to happen.
God orchestrated all of this, allowing his only son to die for us, so we could be set free from our sins. We can only imagine the pain and suffering that Jesus had to endure at the cross for you and me. It was a tremendous sacrifice, knowing the world's sins was on his shoulders and what he was about to face.
Every Easter we get together with family and friends to celebrate this special time of year. We go to church wearing our new bonnet and new outfits for all to see. We hide the Easter eggs and have all the baskets filled with all kinds of treats to enjoy. In addition, we even prepare a lavish dinner or go out to a nice restaurant.
Don't get me wrong, this is all good, but let us never forget the true reason, that Jesus Christ died on Calvary for all of us, so our lives would be made whole by His blood.
Not just a mere feeling but let this experience on Easter sunday pull at your heartstring to become a better person to your family. To give your life to the Lord totally, and if you are not in church then make a commitment today to do so. Developing a relationship with the Father is the best thing you could ever do.
It was Jesus who redeemed the whole world at the cross, ask him to help you to carry your cross today.
