The Celebration of Easter
03 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
Tomorrow is Easter. It’s a joyous celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection shows Jesus is trustworthy. He said He would conquer death, and He did! Knowing that Jesus is trustworthy is important. It’s means we can believe Him. He said He came to save. He said He and the Father is one. He said eternal life is found through Him. He said God loves us. Jesus said He would not forsake us. He said he wanted to give us an abundant life. He said He had rest for the weary. He said we would have much trouble in this life, but we should take heart for He has overcome the world. He said He would be back! We can believe Jesus because He did what He said he would do on that Sunday morning.
The days leading to Easter is a special time too because we are reminded of a remarkabole truth: God understands and can relate to human suffering. Jesus felt totally alone in the garden. He felt the pain of betrayal of Judas. He felt the sting of abdonment of friends. Then, there was the physical pain He experienced. When we are suffering we can know that we have a God who “gets it” because He went through it. That gives me such comfort and all the more reason to celebrate Easter.
