Resurrection Day
Tomorrow is Resurrection Sunday. This year it just seems too early for it to real be Easter yet. But it reality, for the Christian, every day is a day to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I read a blog by someone yesterday (Good Friday), that said every year she is sad on Good Friday. When we stop and let the knowledge of what Jesus went through for us really sink in, it does have the effect of making us sad. We are sad because we are the guilty ones, and He took our punishment, our consequences for our sin, and He wore them at the cross. He took our past failures, our future mistakes, and our broken relationship with God our Father, and made a way for restored relationship.
Then, Sunday came. We all know what happened on Sunday- Jesus rose from the dead.
This is our celebration, the fact that though we were once dead to sin, we can now be alive in Christ.
Some people make it seem so complicated.
But it is really so simple.
We only have to say “I accept your gift of sacrifice for me Jesus, I accept your forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my Lord (the boss of my life), my savior The one who saved me from hell, and eternal death), and my Redeemer (the one who brought relationship with the Father back to me). Thank you, AMEN!”
The key is to mean it from your heart, and be determined to live for Christ….after all Tomorrow is Sunday, what better time to celebrate Resurrection?
