Happy Easter

The Resurrection - I want to wish all of you a happy Easter.  I know that I am a day late but for us christians, The Resurrection is everyday.  I hope you had a great time with family and friends. 

The awesome thing about The Resurrection of Jesus is that it is the single most important event in all of human history.  It doesn't matter who people say Jesus is.  Some will say He was a great teacher.  Some will say He was a great prophet.  Some will say He was a crazy man and no way was He Savior.  Some will say He is Lord and Savior. 

No matter what people say about Jesus, we know that history record's that a man named Jesus Christ lived 2000 plus years ago and He had a public ministry for 3 years.  He was crucified for claiming to be God in flesh, Lord and Savior of the Jews and the whole world.  Those my friend's are absolute facts about Jesus.

But of all these facts, opinion's, and statements about Jesus, the greatest fact is and will always be that when Jesus was buried in that tomb on Friday, when it came to Sunday, three days later, the stone was rolled away and the solider's said his disciples stole His body, but when Mary come to ask what happened to Jesus, the angel said, "He is risen just as He said He would do and go tell Peter and the others." 

This event is the single greatest event of all time because a Savior named Jesus destroyed sin by living a sinless life, destroyed the devil by not giving into temptation, and most importantly, destroyed death, hell, and the grave by Resurrecting from the dead three days after being crucified on a cross. There is no denying that He lived and the tomb He was buried in is empty because He still lives.  Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.
 



Be Blessed,
