Today, on our 7 month anniversary, it is also our first Easter Sunday together! The Easter Bunny stopped by early this morning as we slept, and surprised us both with a basket full of goodies! How thoughtful! But what is really thoughtful is the true meaning of Easter. Easter Sunday is much more than a day of colorful plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies; it is in fact a day that left the world forever changed. It had been three days since Jesus had received the death penalty by popular vote. His friends and followers were devastated, as they had come to believe that He was not just an ordinary man, but the Son of God. He had performed miracles, healed every disease, and even brought a man back from the dead.
On that third day—the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday—His friends went to His grave, but instead of finding His body, they found an open tomb with no body in it. In fact, what they saw was an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen”. Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. Now, He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. To me that is truly thoughtful!
