What’s not to love about Easter? You have holidays, family time and a ton of chocolate. However, that is not at all it’s about.
Romans 6v9&10:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God
It’s all about Jesus! His death and resurrection, His promises and His power. He willingly laid down His life on a cross at Golgotha. The just for the unjust. Paid a debt He did not owe to set lost sinners free. It is the great exchange; it is the story of mercy and grace. If you put your trust in Him, His promise is you too will rise and one day be with Him.
Yes, you can enjoy the holiday and the benefits of it. Yet never forget the love that Jesus extends to you, His invitation to come to Him and rest. He proved that love by dying for our sins and He proved His power by rising again. Now that is something worth celebrating if ever there was!
We at Breakthrough Church wish every one of you a blessed and happy holiday and we would love to invite you along to our Easter service on Sunday 31st March at 11.30am.
Much love - Pastor John
