THE GIFT OF EASTER
Why would the horrible suffering and death of a good man be celebrated as a joyous occasion throughout the world for all time to come? Some might celebrate Easter because it is a religious holiday. Others, maybe, because it means a couple of days off work. Many people celebrate Easter because of tradition, and the sad fact is that many do not have the slightest inkling of what Easter is about and the significance it holds for mankind. It is not about painted eggs and a creepy bigass bunny. It's also not about delicious hazelnut truffle filled Lindt chocolate bunnies or chocolate coated marshmallows either. Jesus Christ, the second person in the Divine trinity of YHWH ELOHIM made full and final payment for the sin debt of mankind on the cross. It is a most joyous celebration because mankind was afforded the opportunity to be pardoned for their sin for ever, and to obtain immortality in the holy presence of God...the very being of holiness, righteousness, mercy, grace and love. Through the death of Jesus Christ, the personification of God on earth, we can obtain unmerited eternal security by the working of His Holy Spirit, the very presence of God here on earth in the present. And what can we do to deserve this mercy?...absolutely NOTHING. All we can do, is to accept the sacrifice of Christ, confess our need of Him, and by His mercy be counted as sons of God. It is the free gift of God onto mankind...but it cannot happen without Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life, and no one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).  
But it did not end at the death of Christ on the cross...He has risen from death and and the grave, victorious over sin for all eternity. 
"But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Thy kingdom." (Heb 1:8)
Here is to wishing you a blessed Easter, and may the God of Grace guide you into all truth and righteousness.
