What comes to mind when you think of Easter? Whatever images pop into your head, the truth is that Easter is so much greater than we can comprehend. It’s a story of victory and redemption. It’s the day we celebrate Jesus Christ rising from the dead. But what does that have to do with you? And why does it matter? Easter is the difference between life and death. Without Easter, we have no hope. The whole reason Jesus Christ came to earth in the first place was to save us from death and give us a chance at new life with Him. See, we’re all sinners, meaning we all fall short of God’s perfect standard. The punishment for sin is death, and not just physical death but spiritual death—eternal separation from God. Yet because of God’s love for us, He made a way for us to reach Him. That’s through Jesus, who willingly died an agonizing death on a cross to pay the price for our sins and create a bridge between us and God. He died in our place—in your place. But it didn’t end there. Jesus then conquered death by rising again three days later. That glorious day is what we call Easter—the day the bonds of sin lost their grip, vanquished in the ultimate expression of Christ’s love for us. Because He lives, you can also live forever with Him in heaven. If you make Jesus part of your life, you are no longer condemned to spiritual death. You have hope, not only for eternal life with Jesus, but for today—for a life filled with purpose and God’s guidance. So what does Easter have to do with you? Everything. What will you choose today: life with Christ or without Him? PeacewithGod.net
