EASTER'S TRUE MEANING


I wanted to share with you the saga of this precious little "Lamb of God.."

You see, the Scriptures say much in regards to the true meaning of Easter. It is not a "legend" as the story of Peter Rabbit is....they depict the truth of how a loving Savior chose to die for the sins of all mankind, so that we would not have to pay the price for our sins.


They reveal hour by hour the days prior to the crucifixion of Jesus...and how the the soldiers of the governor brought my Jesus into a common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers...how they openly stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe...how they mocked him...and how he spoke not a single word.........


............how they then platted a crown of thorns, rammed it upon his head, and put a reed in his right hand; and then bowed their knees before him, and mocked him again and again...saying "Hail," King of the Jews!!!


The scriptures show how they then spit on him, and how they took that reed, and used it to strike him on the head repeately....constantly hitting him and spitting on him...how they then took their robe off from him, they then put his own raiment back on him and led him away to be crucified....and he still never spoke a single word...how he endured this cruelty for our sakes...


"THE CRUCIFIXION"


They brought Him to the place, called Golgotha, (which is called Calvary), giving him vinegar to drink mixed with gall...only He would not drink. Then then crucified Him with two thieves, one on the right, the other on the left.


The spectators and the chief priests mocked Jesus..crying out to Him to save himself...if he be the King of Israel as he saith...let him now come down from the cross and they will believe him.


He prayed "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."


This all happened around the sixth hour, and there was darkness all over the land until the ninth hour.

The sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. At the ninth hour Jesus cried out to His heavenly Father saying...... "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me??????????...and then, he gave up the ghost.

"HIS BURIAL"

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.


Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb..

...which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.


Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Jesus, beheld where he was laid.

"HIS RESURRECTION "


As portrayed in Matthew 28

And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.


Behold, there was a great earthquake, for the Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat on it.


His countenance was like lightning, his raiment white as snow;

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone from the door of the sepulchre????


The angel, seeing their fear, said to them: "Fear not ye, for I know ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."


To me, the most important reason we celebrate Easter is because of Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! May getting to know Him in a deeper way truly be the center of our focus this Easter..


If after reading these pages, if you have never asked Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Savior and Lord...why don't you take the time to do so now?

After seeing how He laid His life down for yours, are you willing to give your life completely to Him? Its a decision you will never regret!!


If you are wondering how to do that, just bow your head, and pray silently to God...asking Him to forgive you of your sins, and then while believing that He just did forgive you of them instantly...pray and ask Him to come into your heart to live...to be your Lord and Savior.

If you have just done this, please email me at the addy below!! Thanks and God Bless You!!

These pages are dedicated to my online friends...wishing them the happiest Easter celebrating the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

with much love in Christ,
