++ The True Easter. ++
Have you ever give a thought what does Easter means? Is it just another day to recieve those decorated eggs or watch the bunnies hop around?
My dear friend. Besides the widely-celebrated Christmas, Easter is another joyous occasion to celebrate about, perhaps more than Christmas. Sometime twenty centuries ago, Jesus Christ was crucified and died for the sins of man, and on the third day, risen from the grasp of death, making this a foundation of Christianity faith.
This day symbolizes a complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught, and not just another rabbi or religious teacher, a Son of God who died on the cross and shed blood for us. The final sacrifice which brings man closer to God, it is through Him that our sins are forgiven, that we will be risen with Him and share the glory of God.
John 11:25 cites:- Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. - 1 Peter 1:3
Easter is a day of new beginnings. It is a day of hope. And to celebrate life, an everlasting life, through Jesus Christ. You know, brothers and sisters, Easter isn't very much about the bunnies and eggs, though it is nice to have them around, but let us not forget the real meaning of Easter.
