Easter

The Apostles were dismayed and brokenhearted, for their Master and friend died on a Roman cross.

They knew the Sanhedrin orchestrated the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. The terrified Jewish leaders eliminated the single biggest threat to their continued leadership of Israel, and they used the Roman occupiers as their weapon.

The High Priest thought he killed Jesus.

You cannot kill God.

The Roman cross did not kill Jesus. Jesus gave his life up. When he declared "It is finished", Jesus meant that the debt for sin was paid.

God gave us the greatest gift we never deserved. God gave us forgiveness.

Someone needed to tell the Apostles that God's ultimate forgiveness was in the cleansing blood flowing down the cross on Good Friday.

So on Easter Sunday, Jesus, the Christ, rose from the dead. The grave could not hold him. Death could not claim him.

Jesus is Everlasting Life, the Savior, our Lord, God made man, the Way, the Truth, the Son of God, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Risen from the dead, Jesus proclaimed the good news to his Disciples, and that Good News is still proclaimed today.

The Apostles did share the fate of Jesus, as can everyone who accepts the forgiveness of Christ and makes Him Lord of their life.

Eternal Life is available to all, because of the resurrection of the Son of God.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (KJV)
