It's that time of the year again and Easter is around the corner. So first and foremost I would like to wish everyone a "Blessed Easter". To me I've honestly never really thought a big deal about easter. I'm like yeah, I know JC died and rose again on this day, So thats why we celebrate it and stuff. But I'd like to think that I'm the kind of person that celebrates his resurrection on a daily basis, And I do not have to wait for a certain allocated day to ring out my praises for his mighty deeds. It could kinda flow into the "valentine's day" debate huh!?
But anyways, I got into thinking. I've always associated Easter with chocolate eggs. I mean I used to look forward to easter merely because of the eggs I'd receive from my parents, friends, ...ect. Even at school we'd have pretty awesome activities like chocolate egg hunts and all that razz and jazz. I used to believe in the Easter Bunny. Now don't laugh yet! I believed in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause and that Monster under my bed. But like most kids, I outgrew it with age.In all honesty the actual reason I stopped believing in all of them was because they stopped delivering gifts to me once I shifted to Malaysia... Those buggers....
One day I found out why the Easter Bunny stopped delivering chocolate eggs to me!
Poor rabbit got in a hit and run
Anyways, Much later I found out what the true meaning of Easter was. Prior to contrary belief. It isnt all about the chocolate eggs!
So what is Easter then?Celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians all over the world will celebrate the reason that they are Christians, and the fulfillment of God's promise to save them from the sin that came in through Adam. The means was Jesus Christ, whom God sent to live on earth as man, die a criminal's death in atonement for that sin, and rise again, to release mankind from eternal bondage.
What does that mean to me?
That mate! Means you have your rear end covered and you literally have a "Get out of Jail Free card" from your past life and Sin.
Getting saved is as easy as counting to five. All it takes is acknowledging that
1) God loves Me
2) I have Sinned
3) Solution = Jesus Christ
4) Decision = Recieve Jesus
So like yeah. Easter is celebration of rebirth and renewal. So why don't you check out the true meaning of Easter, And in the spirit of things give it a shot. Happy Easter Everyone!
