Easter - Why Do We Celebrate the Risen Lord Jesus?

He was the Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no Army, yet Kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. He is risen and sitting at the right hand of God interceding for those who have repented and accepted him into their hearts. He fills the void in your heart that you tried to fill with all the world has to offer and you were still discontented. Everything we buy to make us happy fades after awhile and we start looking for something else. With Jesus in your heart, you aren't looking for more to fill that void, you have peace and contentment and a joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday and the day our Lord was crusified for us. He rose on the 3rd day and is in Heaven standing in for us who believe in him. It is a very real time of celebrations for the true Christians who are saved and believe in Jesus. Having been to Israel and walked the Via Delarosa, it means a lot more to me than ever before, walking the way of the cross, I felt Jesus beside me. It was amazing.

Easter

Just another week and it will be Easter already. That is when we celebrate our Lord and Savior's rise from the dead. He is in Heaven now interceding for those who have accepted him into their heart and repented of their sins. Heaven will be the most beautiful place we have ever seen, beyond the description of man. It is exciting to think about it if you are ready to go. We have lots of loved ones there waiting to greet us when we arrive one day. One of our daughters has invited us over for a wonderful dinner next weekend and we will get to enjoy the grandchildren and great grandchildren too. I know the youngest two boys have grown so much, it will be so much fun to see them in action.

Easter Sunday

Sunday is Easter, the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the grave to Heaven so that if we believe in him, we too can be in that beautiful place called Heaven. The Bible says eyes have not seen nor ears heard what is in store for us in Heaven waiting for us. It is more beautiful than any artist could paint or any person could imagine. Where we won't have all these aches and pains, no tears or sorrows and every day will be a beautiful day full of the light of Jesus. No dark dreary days and nights anymore either. We will get to see some of our kids, grandkids and a little sweet great granddaughter on Sunday and have a wonderful dinner. What more could you ask for?
