This is the time of the
year we celebrate Jesus death, and Resurrection. Three bodies hung on
these crosses. Three bodies were taken to the grave, but only one
body was taken out of the grave in perfect condition. Only the cloth
that covered His body was left in the tomb. Some thought the body of
Jesus had been stolen, but the angel said to the women who came to
visit His grave, “He is not here. He is risen.” Can anyone
possibly doubt that? No one but a brain impaired person. Jesus own
words, “try me and see if I am real.” That is where many of fools
back away without further comment. Yet they continue to say Jesus is
not who people say He is. I personally have tried Jesus, and yes He
definitely proved to me He is real. Never have I had the slightest
doubt since that great, and blessed day. Yes, it was an on-the-spot
revelation, and not a time thing. I was made a believer never to
doubt again.
Coincidentally I had just
finished reading the Old Testament three days ago, and was reading
the first chapter of the New Testament when I realized this was the
Easter, (celebration of Jesus birth,) time of the year. The first
chapter of the New Testament, Matthew, tells about the coming birth
of Jesus. I was entering a new world of joy when I finally got
through the Old Testament, and into the New. It took me a year to
read the Old Testament with just reading one chapter a night. I
fought depression the entire time of reading the horrible, wickedness
of creation before Christ. Some people refuse to read the Old
Testament, but I believe it takes both books to complete the plan of
God. I have read the Old Testament before several times, but never
all at once without skipping over to the New to regain some new
strength. This time I skipped not one chapter. The New Testament is
short, and to the point, but I already know what's in the next
chapter before I read it. What a rejoicing I feel after getting
through the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of that One who gave
His life that you and I might have everlasting peace, and joy if we
choose. Jesus is the Light of The World, In Him There is no Darkness.
All the little children love Easter, and grow up thinking it's all
about hunting colored eggs. But at the certain time of their life,
they are made to realize it was Jesus, not the colored eggs, that
made Easter so enjoyable. Someone long ago was wise in thinking of a
way to include the children when we celebrated the life, and death,
and resurrection of Jesus. I love the Easter bunny, and the colored
eggs, but most of all I love Jesus who made all good things possible.
God Bless
