a thought for easter.

Easter has fast become a time of year that we look forward to for a number of reasons. A few days off work, sales in the shops and of course the oodles of chocolate that we feast on over the break. But how much are we truly thrilled by Easter. When we’re back in work, the sales are over and the chocolate’s run out, what is there left to celebrate? A recent survey showed that a quarter of children think easter is about the easter bunny with 53% not knowing what easter is about at all.  A holiday that once was the focal point of the Christian calendar has become part of the furniture. Once what stirred our souls has become boring. So what’s the big deal. Well if we really understand the real of meaning of easter, it really changes everything.

This Easter, lets remind ourselves of why this weekend is so incredible....


Through Jesus resurrection we can have eternal hope...

1 Peter 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can be justified before the Father...

Romans 4:25: “He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can have forgiveness of sins...

Acts 5:31: “God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.”


Jesus resurrection is the fulfillment of promises that came before...

1 Corinthians 15:4: “He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”


Through Jesus resurrection we can have a personal relationship with God for all eternity....

Matthew 28:20: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

This Easter, lets be stunned again by the salvation, hope and power that can be yours through Jesus’ death and resurrection!
