Amidst the celebration, it is important that we remember and focus on the true meaning of Easter…that Jesus Christ willfully shed his blood and laid down his life to give us eternal life.
God was in the world and the world knew him not; they beat him and crucified him believing it would make a difference---and it did...just not they way they thought.
Through the shedding of Jesus blood, atonement was made for the sins of all men once and for all time. At the moment of his death, the veil to the Holy of Holies was torn in half giving all men, both Jew and Gentile, direct access to the Living God, forever.
They buried him, believing that would be the end of it all…but it was only just the beginning.
On the third day, he overpowered death, hell, and the grave. He lives!
I am thankful for an old rugged cross, an empty tomb, and for the Resurrected Saviour of the world.
