Easter: Today and Beyond

Easter is a sacred day for the Christians around the world.  It is a day, really the day, when all around the world considers this historical man, Jesus of Nazarene, and the remarkable events that surrounded His life, His death by the hands of Pontius Pilate, and the strange events of His post-death life.  It is the day when, around the world, people who would rather never consider the reality of the events of Jesus of Nazarene.

But for Christians, this is a day of remembrance of a different sort.  For Christians, this is a day marked on the calendar not merely as a remembrance of what Christ Jesus did in His life, in His horrid death, and by His resurrection; it is also a day of particular importance because we remember, more particularly, what Jesus has done for us.

Today's blog, therefore, is one meant especially for those who would come to Christ in faith.  Today, on this very day, I exhort you to consider all that God has done for you in Christ Jesus, and to set as a mark upon your foreheads your commitment in faith to Christ Jesus for the remainder of this year.  Use this day in concert with the rest of your days as a podium to herald the King and to sing of His praise.  It is, of course, not merely a day like any other for it is a day of supreme testimony by which we recognize the sin offering and propitiation that Christ has won on our behalf.  AMEN!
