What does Easter mean to you?
What does Easter mean to you? This seemed to be the theme at church today considering we talked about it in Sunday School and then it was the title of Dad's message today!
Easter means to me several different things. First of all, the fact that Jesus shed his blood for me is what makes me worthy to come before a holy God. Without the blood of Jesus being applied to my soul I would not be seen as worthy. But because Jesus' blood is on my soul, I can go before God and he doesn't see my sin, he sees the blood of his Son and he sees me as WORTHY! Secondly, the fact that Jesus arose on that 3rd morning and he is now seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for me! Jesus is alive and he is praying on my behalf! Lastly, when Jesus left the tomb, he folded his linens. This symbolizes the fact that he is coming again one day for his children. What hope we as Christians have!
Easter is a very special weekend. Not everyone can celebrate Easter! How awesome is it that we as Christians have a Holiday to celebrate the fact that we serve a RISEN Savior. He is the ONLY living God! But, how sad it is that we often take it for granted that we serve the only living God! We had 600 people at church this morning. It was GREAT seeing it filled to capacity but I have never understood why people think coming to church one time a year on Easter Sunday will last them the rest of the year! May we not only celebrate Easter on Easter weekend but may we celebrate Easter daily in our hearts and in our lives!
God, I am so thankful that "the cross became an empty grave, on day three." Thank you for giving your Son's life so freely that I might be saved and have eternal life in you. Thank you for giving us the hope that the napkin is still folded and you're coming again.
