Hello my Lovlies — Happy Easter!!!!!
I♥ve Easter not only because it
signifies the beginning of spring, but it means rebirth and complete
forgiveness. The resurrection of Jesus (alongside his crucifixion) is the
central historical event in the Christian faith. Without the resurrection
there would be no Christianity.
Consider just three of the ways the New Testament
highlights the significance of the resurrection.
1. Jesus' resurrections means that his sacrificial
death on the cross was sufficient, and therefore our sins can be forgiven.
2. Jesus' resurrection means that death is defeated once
and for all.
3. The resurrection means that the material world matters.
I ran across a poem that I think is a beautiful
Easter sentiment and wanted to share it with you.
Easter
Dawn
by Shirley Amendt
"What
day is this?" The Voice was clear.
The tone was kind and strong.
Until it
reached my sleeping ear;
I had slumbered for too long.
I shook off
sleep and looked around,
Searching shadows in the room.
No one was present
to be found,
In the quiet predawn gloom.
"What Day is this?" I heard
once more.
Aloud and not a whim,
Then I was shaken to my core,
I knew
that it was Him.
"What DAY is this?" I knew Him now,
And I laughed in
glad reply!
My very soul rejoiced aloud.
My heart took wings to
fly.
This is the Day the Lord has made,
The first day of the
week--
When Mary went forth unafraid,
To the Savior she must
seek.
Now I walk through this Easter dawn,
To The Risen Lord, The One
True Vine,
He feeds us now and from now on,
With broken bread and poured
out wine.
He died and gave His all for me,
My sins are gone and I am
free,
I seek him now on bended knee,
He lives today, He lives in
me.
