This weekend we celebrated one of the greatest weekends from all time history. Starting from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. Let's talk about each day for a second...
On Friday... We celebrate an amazing day... The day that Jesus Christ went and died on the cross for the sins of the world when he was completely innocent. Why is it such a great day? Well, because it opened up a way to God for anyone and everyone that chooses to accept Him. When Jesus said, "It is finished" he meant it. No longer do we have to worry about cleansing our sins ourselves! It was done that day when His blood was running down the cross, when God turned His back on His own Son, and when Christ breathed His last breath. So, celebrate Friday because we have life through the innocent One that gave it to us, the guilty ones.
On Saturday... We celebrate the fact that Jesus was dead for us. His body lay in the grave while His soul was in hell. He suffered that much for us. And yet we still live for ourselves instead of Him. I mean, if Christ can go to hell because He was taking up all our sins for us and God turned His back on Him, then how can we not see that we ourselves can get to hell a lot easier? Christ made a way to heaven for us! We just gotta accept it. It's that easy.
On Sunday... We celebrate the greatest day in history! Why? I mean, what about Christmas? Jesus was born that day! Well, yeah, but Jesus defeated death on Easter! How cool is that?! I mean, think about it... Jesus died. Was dead for three days. Then He rose again. What?! If He can do that, what's to stop Him from keeping us from death? Not our physical body, but our soul. And not death as in no longer existing (because everyone lives forever), but as in living like a life that is amazing in heaven instead of rotting in hell! Well, thank God that He did just that! For everyone who comes to Him, believes in Him, and confesses his or her sins at the foot of the cross. Just like the criminal that hung beside Him. Even he made it to heaven! What an amazing day to celebrate and what a great gift!
So, celebrate the greatest weekend to have ever happened in history!
Happy Easter everyone! Much love!
God bless!!
