Easter & Forgiveness they sure are good!

Well we are now in Holy Week in the church. Many people see Christmas as the big holiday of the year, but I think as Christians we miss that Easter is the more important holiday. As scripture says in Hebrews 9:22 "without the shedding of blood there cannot be any forgiveness of sins."

How true is that. Christmas Christ enters the world, but at Easter He accomplishes the whole reason why He came. This Easter as we remember the death and resurrection of our Lord may we truly honor and celebrate in a way that it truly deserves.

So we are about to end the Easter season and lent. I propose the question on how did you do this year? Did you give something up? Did you add something? How has your walk been with Christ over these past 40 days? Well for me I have had some up and downs. I don't know if I have really added any good habits to my spiritual life, but I think God has spoken. He surely isn't finished with me yet, never will that be till the day comes that He brings me home. But God continues to show me who I am in light of who He is. That is surely a bigger picture and a better one.

I praise God for His blessings and His continual forgiveness and restoration of my life. For without Easter and His Gift I would surely be lost and condemned! So as we celebrate Easter and then move onto the next big thing in our lives, may we take a little Easter with us into every part of our lives!
