Okay, I know I'm a little late for this, but I wanted to put my feelings on the subject out there on the floor for you to peruse, speculate on and ulatimately agree with. Ha!
Not a big fan of the word Easter. Know where it comes from? I'll tell you. Easter comes from the fertility goddess Eastre. Now I understand why the early church chose to celebrate our Risen Lord during her celebration...to avoid persecution. But, we don't really have that problem anymore. So, I'm deciding that I'm going to call it Resurrection Day from here on out. Join me!
Have you ever sat and thought about exactly what this day really means for us? We all know that it's the day that Jesus rose from the dead...but what does that mean? I had a lot to say here, but suddenly, I don't want to write it all out. I want you to think about it. Really think about it. Focus on the fact that as He died three days prior, He was thinking of you. He did it all for you. And on Resurrection Day, He defeated Death so that He could be with you always. Everything He did was for you. Now He sits at His Father's right hand interceding for us. He's praying to His Father for us!! Whenever we are wronged or whenever we wrong someone else, He turns to His Father and says "Dad, I already took care of that." He's got your back! He loves you more than you can imagine.
I hope this excites you as much as it excites me.
