I love
Easter! I love everything about
Easter! I love watching the kids hunt
for eggs, I love the surprise on their face when they find their candy-filled
Easter baskets, I love having family over for our traditional Easter dinner, I
love all the bright colors, but most of all I really love these little
eggs. Every time I open one up, the
candy reminds me of Jesus’ sweet sacrifice he made on the cross for my
sins. His grace, forgiveness and love
for us. When the candy is gone I am left
with a bright colored, yet empty egg.
What a wonderful reminder of the empty tomb! How lucky we are to serve a God that cannot
be bound by death. In Corinthians 15 it
reads “O Death, where is your victory? O
death, where is your sting? Thanks be to
God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Though we must
always remember the horrible death which Jesus suffered for our sins, we must
also celebrate his resurrection. Today I
pray that you and your family will celebrate and each time you open an egg you
will remember sweet Jesus and an empty tomb.
