We look at Easter and
many images come to mind. Honestly thanks to effective marketing the Easter
Bunny is the iconic symbol on the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus. As harmless as this little
bunny may seem, it has pagan underpinnings and may have evil attached. Think
about how almost everyone focuses on the egg hunt, a celebration of the
fertility god and not on what happened today some 2000 years ago. You can dress
it up with all the prayers you want and make it as fun as you can, Satan would
not making something unappealing.
A stone was rolled
from a tomb and Jesus was alive. This was the conclusion that had to be to show
that He was the pure sacrifice for all our sins. It’s that simple!! Jesus came,
taught, lived and was crucified like many before Him, the difference was he was
God in flesh! He was a pure sacrifice and by his empty tomb proved this to all
mankind.
Remember today is a
celebration not of eggs, bunnies, chocolates, dresses, hats or even the cross.
Yep, the cross led us here, but the stone rolled from the empty tomb and Jesus
being alive should be our focus today. It’s not a solemn event, but a
celebration that Jesus is who He said He is and is alive in all of us today.
All you need to do is accept this as true and confess your transgressions so
you can follow Jesus with a redeemed heart.
PRAISE GOD!!
