Why do I celebrate Resurrection Day?

4/4/2021

For years I celebrated the secular holiday Easter. The Catholic Church started it and the secular world took it over. Then we arrive at today where some of the “Christian” religions have started to call the holiday – Resurrection Day.

I have started calling it Resurrection Day because the true meaning of the Holiday has nothing to do with hiding eggs and dressing up in a new outfit. It has to do with us setting aside a day to be thankful for the sign of promise.

The promise that God the Father and Jesus the Son gave us over two thousand years ago. The promise of eternal life with them, IF we accept the fact that Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood so that our sins could be washed away. Then Jesus arose as the sign of our living for eternity with God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost.

Yes, most of us will face death here on this earth. However, through death or the catching away of the Bride of Christ; we the born again, washed in His blood, children of God will live with Him in our eternal resting place. Heaven.

Thank you, Lord Jesus not only for giving Your life and shedding Your blood so that we might be forgiven of our sins and rising again three days latter so that we might live with you for eternity. Amen.
