For many people Easter Sunday is a day to dress our children in fancy dresses and hair bows for girls and handsome litte suits for boys.
Oh yes; in yesteryear, Mom wore a fancy hat, the bigger the better. The afternoon was prime time for a colorful Easter egg hunt.
Pity the family who either forgot or never knew that Easter is a beloved day for remembering.
We are to remember that almighty God had a purpose for his son, Jesus Christ. We are to remember that each of us was born with a sin nature we didn’t ask for, nor could we tame it alone. We are to remember God had a unique plan for our sin issue. The lamb of God (Jesus) would die on a cross prepared for sinners.
But God would not leave him on that cruel cross. He was buried in a tomb. We are to remember God was not finished yet. Resurrection Day was only three days away.
“Up from the grave he AROSE, with a mighty triumph over his foes; he lives forever with his saints to reign.”
We are to REMEMBER to give thanks for the
love of God that came to us that Resurrection Easter Day. We are to remember to turn our eyes upon Jesus, look fully in His face, and and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace.
