Week of April 13, 2025

Easter Island; what a strange image to think about on the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ!  But let’s be honest, we’re beset by strangeness; that is, challenges, distractions, and lies that seek to minimize, or even do away with, our ability to worship God.

​

Easter bunnies, Easter eggs, candy (OK, the chocolate eggs aren’t all bad!) theories about how to explain away the miracle and life-changing power of Jesus’ resurrection… frankly, these things should be expected.  If you were the enemy of God, wouldn’t you want to set up as many smoke screens as possible to minimize the praise and worship given to Him?

​

Those distractions do not cloud the reality of what we remember today.  Jesus Christ died on Good Friday as a sacrifice for our sins.  That’s amazing enough, although many, many people were executed on a Roman cross.  What makes this unique is that Jesus did not remain dead.

​

In the best documented historic event imaginable, with enough proofs to convince any honest skeptic, Jesus Christ was seen to die, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and literally, honestly, powerfully, physically, rose from the dead.  That resurrection served as proof that He was who He said He was, it proved that the Father accepted the sacrifice Jesus offered up, and it fulfilled Hebrew prophesy.

 

If this resurrected Jesus is not yet your Savior, I encourage you to pray to Him right now.  Ask Him to forgive you and grant you new life.  If He is your Savior, now would be a very good time to turn to Him in prayer and thank Him for what He did for you!
