Happy Easter

I was surprised to know that Easter is not only about Jesus, the Easter bunny or Coloring eggs. These are a compilation of customs and celebration in roman time. When these festival of different religions was combined by Roman Emperor Constantine. He was one of the first christian Roman Emperors. He was trying to please all of the people when he did this. I now know why some people have begun to refer to Easter as Resurrection Sunday. Nothing against those that color eggs and Eat chocolate covered Easter Bunny's.

Today is Good Friday

Today goes down as a day in history. Who would have died for you???

Not many would have died on the cross for your sins. We need to look at all that Jesus has done.

What Did Jesus Do?

1. He was accused of being King of the Jews.

2. He was whipped with 39 stripes on his back.

3. He had a bed of thorns placed on his head.

4. He had to walk all the way to cavalry with a heavy cross on his back (task not completed due to being weak and needing help). Therefore, walked the rest of the way in a hot dusty road to Calvalry.

5. Had his hands nailed to the cross.

6. Had his feet nailed to the cross. Was lifted up with his hands and feet for all to see in humiliation.



7. Nicely baked in the sun for hours until nicely agonized. Forgive those who were involved for they knew not what they had done. Pierced in the side to show that he was dead.

Could you have done all this?? Would you have wanted to??

Whew, I don't know about you but thank God for Jesus OXX Jesus.
