Easter

It's Easter. The Day that made all His pain and suffering on Good Friday worth it. The Day that is so joyous and wonderful that mere mortal human beings can't comprehend the extent of it.

Good Friday is when my precious Lord and Savior endured humiliation, pain, suffering, and death to take away my sins. Easter is the Resurrection Sunday when He rose from the dead so He could ascend into Heaven, while becoming our "Risen King", on whom I base my trust, my soul, my very life.

This is a Joyous Day because it fulfills the ancient prophecies of what should/did happen. We celebrate with Easter eggs, chocolate rabbits, and plastic grass. However, the real Prize is having a relationship with the One True and living God through His Son, Jesus.

Christmas is fun, festive, and a "giving spirit". Easter is Holy, humble, and a look inward. He died for each of us as individuals. At anytime in His almost 33 years on earth, He had the power to change His mind and go back to Heaven. He didn't. Instead, He endured more pain and suffering than we can ever imagine, but because He did that for us, we don't need to.

I am truly humbled and grateful what He did. Easter is His Resurrection and His "I told you so" moment. Thank you, God, for giving me a second chance. I love you.

Good Friday

Good Friday is the most humbling of all days. To think that my Jesus would willingly go through every horrible thing He went through for me/you is amazing. As much as I love, love, love Christmas, I think Easter is the most special and Holy of all. My Lord and Savior never ceases to amaze me with His love. He could have called on all His angels, or, really, just decided not to go through with the crucifixion, but He didn't. He willingly died for me. I'm humbled by His love. Easter Sunday is so joyous, but this day says it all.......
