✞ WHAT IS EASTER REALLY ABOUT??? ✞





Jesus Is Alive...He Has Risen!

Mary & others visit the tomb & find that the stone is rolled away. The angel says, "Jesus is not here, He is risen! Just as He said."
Matthew 28:1

Peter & John rush to the tomb to verify & they find Jesus' burial linens, but His body is indeed gone. In disbelief, they head home.
John 20:2-6

Outside the tomb, Jesus appears 2 Mary Magdalene..."Why are you weeping? Go to my brothers & tell them I am ascending to my Father..."
John 20:11, 15-18

Jesus appears to Cleopas and a friend on the road to Emmaus. They report back to the others, but still they don't believe He's alive.
Luke 24:13-14

Jesus visits His disciples..."Why do you doubt? Look at my hands & feet, it is Me! Everything written about me must be fulfilled."
John 20:20

For 40 days, Jesus appears to many others to prove He is truly alive. Finally, He blesses His disciples & instructs them...
Acts 1:3

Jesus ascends into Heaven to be seated at the right hand of God. Then, angels appear & assure them that He will once again return!
Acts 1:9-12



I hope you all are following along this Holy Week. 
I am a Christian and believe in my heart that "God's Not Dead" and Jesus is my Lord and Savior...Amen!


Christians are not perfect and we do not claim to be. We are all sinners. We were born into sin....but by the grace of God, we are forgiven.....Ephesians 2:8-9 ....8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast...... 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness....We try to change because Jesus is in us...but sometimes we still fall short and sin....Roman 3:23...For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. .... 

I don't know why anyone would want to believe there isn't a God...to have no one to lean on, and to die and believe that's it...but that's your choice. I don't want you to become a Christian because I think I’m better then you.... I want you to have the peace and joy that only God can give you. God doesn't say that you will never have problems, illness, grief, etc. But if you accept Him into your heart, you won't have to go it alone; God will be with you and get you through. All you have to do is....Roman 10:9-10, 13, 9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart the God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.....

So what are you waiting for...tomorrow??? Tomorrow may never come....we don't know how long we have here on earth. You may die in the next minute or you may live to 100. I rather know I will be in Heaven no matter when my time is up here on earth...

What about you??? Afraid you will have to change your ways...yes you will....but know one makes you...you will want to...the more you read and study the bible, the more you pray and form a relationship with Jesus, you will change and don't even realize it happening because Jesus will become a part of you. It will be like breathing...you don't have to think about breathing to breath. 

We that post messages about god are compelled to do so not knowing if we are making a difference or not. But Jesus said, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 15:16 ... SO IT'S UP TO YOU!

During this Easter season, ask yourself what is it really about.  Is it about the Easter Bunny, coloring Easter eggs, Easter baskets or Easter egg hunts, or maybe your new Easter outfit???  All those things are fun and I'm not saying not to do any of these things. What I am saying is there would be NO Easter without Jesus.  Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all...eternal life.  He was whipped, thorns stuck into His head, crucified...nails pounded into His hands and feet, hung on the cross and stabbed with a sword for us.  He paid the price for our sins even thou He knew NO SIN!!  He rose from the dead to show you that He is the Son of God. That He is alive...that He has Risen and you will too if you ask him into your heart and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior.

So isn't about time that you gave Jesus a chance??? Tell me, what do you have to lose???

Whether you are already a Christian of any denomination or you are not yet a believer of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, but are still here read this message.  Isn't it time you asked Jesus into your heart.  

You might say, "Well, I am already a Christian, I'm a good person, I believe in God and Jesus, I go to church. Isn't that enough?"

Yes, that's great....but do you have a relationship with Jesus?  In order to have a true relationship with Him, you must ask Him into your heart. I too thought that was enough, but something inside me was wanting more.  That's when I admitted out loud that I was a sinner and asked Jesus to forgive me. I seen others with this peace and I wanted that too, so I asked Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior, so that I could feel His presence, love and peace.  That day was my life changing moment. 

I myself prays that everyone will experience the love of God in their lives.  All you have to do is as easy as ABC(A) Admit you are a sinner. (B) Believe Jesus is the Son of God. That Jesus died on the cross so that our sins are forgiven. (C) Confess that Jesus is your Lord and Savior..


Don't wait, ask Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior.  You can say this simple pray that I posted or just put it into your own words.  There isn't a right or wrong way to ask Him into your heart, only that you really mean what you say.


Dear God, 

know I have sinned and my sin separates me from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive. God please forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior and Lord. I will obey You and live for You the rest of my life, Thank You in Jesus' name I Pray.
Amen
