Easter Every Day

1277Matthew 28:6
He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm111[/bible]; [bible]0luke23[/bible]; [bible]judge11-12[/bible]
A friend of mine, who is a preschool teacher, overheard an animated conversation among her students. Little Maria threw out the question: “Who loves God?” All of them responded, “I do! I do! I do!” Billy said, “I love Jesus.”
Hearing Billy’s answer, his friend Kelly protested, “But He died.” Billy said, “Yeah, but every Easter He rises from the dead!”
Obviously, young Billy’s understanding of the meaning of Easter is still developing. We know that Jesus died once for all (Rom. 6:10; Heb. 10:12) and, of course, rose from the dead once.
Three days after paying the penalty of our sins on the cross, the sinless Jesus conquered death by rising from the grave and breaking the power of sin. It was this final sacrifice of blood that opened the only way for us to have a relationship with God now and a home with Him forevermore.
Besides, before He ascended into heaven, He has promised that He is preparing a place for us (John 14:1-4), and He will someday return. One day we will be with our risen Savior.
That’s why every year at Easter time—in fact, every day of the year—we have reason to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. –CHK
Be joyful always because Jesus Christ has risen and conquered death.
