Happy Easter morning! Today we think of new beginnings, of spring, of growth, and of victory. From the darkness sprung the light of the world. It is interesting that we don't know for sure what day Christ's birth falls on, but we know very well the days when his death and resurrection occurred because of the Passover and sabbath observances. We celebrate Christmas with all our strength, but it is like God wanted us to make sure that Easter held the top spot. We even know the times of day that events happened that first Easter. Something happened to make Jesus death and resurrection so critical that God had the days and times recorded for us. However, we should not get caught up in the details, but remember that Christ arose! Jesus not only died for us, but lives again for us. In all the details, one stands out - He lives! This goes against all we learn about death through our life experiences. In your life you have said goodbye to pets, relatives, friends, and even famous people. Today we celebrate the one who died and rose again. From this we learn that we do not share a sympathetic sorrow, but a joyous hope. Christ is not dead; He died and lives again. Greet each other with the joy of Jesus: Christ is Risen!
He is risen indeed!
