What Is Easter To Me?

The first thing we think of when someone says Easter is Easter eggs and hot cross buns, but when we dive deeper we remember that Easter is the day that celebrates the sacrifice that Jesus made for us.

The more you think about it, the more incredible his sacrifice becomes. Consider Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane: Jesus prayed in Matthew 26:39, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” This shows that Jesus was fully committed to saving us, even though it would cost Him dearly. 

Jesus’ courage and dedication to God’s will helped him to endure immense suffering at the hands of his captors. He never wavered from God’s plan for salvation. Something that stands out is the fact that Jesus sacrificed his sinless life for people that beat, mocked, accused and crucified him. This is the greatest example of God’s love for us!

When Jesus rose from the dead, he showed himself to many of his followers. Some of his disciples were even second guessing his presence, needing proof of the scars on his hands, feet and side. Jesus allowed his disciples to touch his hands and feet to show that he truly was alive! Today we have the privilege of a close personal relationship with God because of his Spirit that lives freely in us. We also get the opportunity to share Him with others and help grow His kingdom. 

So this Easter, think about the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us and devote your life to following Jesus and living out the Fruits of the Spirit.
