The tomb is empty! Jesus' resurection from the dead IS THE BIGGEST EVENT IN HISTORY, PERIOD! An event definately worth celebrating.
I love Jesus very much, and hope all of you who will ever read anything I've ever written love Him too.
How cool is it that God would come down in human flesh, dwell among us, suffer and become the propiation for our sins. And as a result of His self-sacrifice we get the priveledge of having our fellowship with the Holy Father reknewed.
What does Jesus mean to you? He means EVERYTHING to me. Jesus has 1st place in my life. Sure I love to write. And I love my family. And I love my job. And I definately love my my three year old nephew, Brycen...
Yeah, he's pretty handy with a magic wand. Wish he was as handy with HIS FORK... but I digress.
My point is no matter what your great love is in life, Jesus needs to be high and lifted up. Treasured above all else. Why? Well-p, because He deserves it. Wanna get to Heaven? Gotta go through Jesus to get there:
John 14:6 "Jesus said him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.""
John 11: 25-26, "Jesus said to her, "I am the resuuection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die..."
Easter is a celebration of Jesus' resurection. So forget the bunnys, sweets, and all the other three ring circus bullshit that's out there -- all designed to divert our eyes from where they should be on this most blessed of days. Jesus' victory over the grave is worth celebrationg. It is the cornstone of mankind's hope. The exlamation point on the greatest life in mankind's history. There is nothing higher than to celebrate and honor what the Lord has acomplished. So glad I wasn't tasked with taking on the sins of the word and being mankind's scapegoat. I would have failed. Sure sometimes I feel pretty high and mighty, but the longer I live, the more I've come appreicate what Jesus has done and is doing in my life. Jesus did what I couldn't do; He makes me right with the Holy Father. I hope everyone gets that and has a personal relationship with the Master, Jesus Christ. I love Him so. I hope you do too.
