True Easter?
WHAAAAT ?!
Easter...so what is it ?
Noah: Not good. Not boring. Not going. It's not work. It's not
working.
Juicy: For you pick up eggs.
Lukas: It's having lots of fun and going to a friend's house to
celebrate Easter. It's the day Jesus died on the cross. It's not
all about celebration and fun, it's about thanking Jesus for giving
us a second chance when He died on the cross.
-Easter Day is the Day of the Resurrection of Christ yes, but
whats the true meaning behind it? Why did it happen?
-Dictionary.com definition : an annual Christian festival in
commemoration of theResurrection of Jesus Christ, observed on the
first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, as
calculated according to tables based in Western churches on the
Gregorian calenderand in Orthodox churches on the Julian
calendar.
Let's take a look...shall we?
-The general concept or idea is simply explained in John

-To first understand how much God truly loved us, we have to
know the relationship between Him and Jesus Christ; that way we
realize just how much He was willing to sacrifice His one and only
Son in order to save us.

-John 17:25

So how much did Jesus suffer for us? How or why was he able to
handle it?
-Matthew 27 : 27-31, 35-44-Isaiah 50 : 6-7
When Jesus came to Earth, He was just like us. He saw our pain
and suffering and even knew what it felt like because He
experienced it himself. God had prepared Jesus for this and even
though there were times He became so afraid, He knew that the
Father's plan for all His children was more important.

One Simple Word : Love
Something we didn't deserve, but still received-Romans 3 :
