Easter is about Jesus the Messiah. Easter is about life. 2000 years ago God took on human flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth in order to rescue us from ourselves. The Bible teaches that we are all sick and that we come from a flawed blood line. The blood born sickness we are all born with is called sin, you have probably heard of it. The word sin comes from a Greek word that just means, “to miss the mark of what God has planned for our lives.” Sin destroys individuals, families, and marriages. Sin creates an emptiness in our life and we spend most of our time trying to fill it. But we can only fill it temporarily before we feel empty again. We fill it with things like hobbies, work, alcohol, partying, family etc... But that's not the cure. Christs blood was perfect, and it is Christs blood that is the cure. Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice and came back to Life, so that we too can also die to our old selves and be brought back into the fullness of life that God wants us to have. He alone can fill the void and save us from ourselves. Church can’t save you, religion can’t save you, Family traditions can’t save you. Only the blood of a perfect spotless lamb can cure the sin that destroys us. Only Jesus. Easter is not only about what happened 2000 years ago, but it’s about the life that is offered to us right now. Because of what He has done we all have the opportunity to come from death to life.
"Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and forgive me of all my sins. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. I recognize my need for You and I admit that I am a sinner. Make me new again. Place me on the road to heaven so I can be with You forever, even after I die. Help me to follow you, to serve you and to grow in my relationship with you. Thank you Jesus. I love You."
A very Happy and Blessed Easter!
