FIVE MEANINGS OF EASTER, IN THE NEXT WEEK I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE FIVE MEANINGS OF EASTER.
To most people Easter is, a time to get dressed to go to church. its a time for some to go on Easter egg hunts, for others it something that the Christians celebrate, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its not like most people havent heard multiple sermons on this topic.
Why is it that most people yawn and become bored with the most earth shattering in human history? The story of Godman who became human to accomplish a mission set forth by his Heavenly Father. How can this be? The Lord of the Universe came down on a mission to forever set us free, and WE YAWN AND REACH FOR THE REMOTE!!
FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANS TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE THEY HAD A REASON TO BELIEVE. IN THE GOSPELS THERE WAS A RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, OT SAINTS WALKED INTO JERUSALEM AND SPREAD THE NEWS!!
TALK ABOUT A TOWN IN A UPROAR!
Man would I like to have read the Jerusalem Post that day!
THE FIRST MEANING THAT I WANT TO BROACH IS JESUS CONQUERED DEATH AND SIN, HE MADE ETERNAL LIFE A REALITY! THIS IS NOT ALL THERE IS.. THERE IS SOMETHING MORE. IF THIS WERE ALL THERE IS, THAN BEHAVING IN A TOTALLY SELFISH WAY WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE. After all, there wouldnt be a judgement day! Because He arose from the dead on the third day as He had prophesied, dozens of implications rain forth for all believers.
Today we have been become disconnected from our faith, it is a mental rote exercise, rather than a living breathing dynamic reality!
He gave us the power to live the Christian life!
He gave us a reason to live beyond the mundanery of everyday life.
There is a reason for all our struggles as we will soon find out!
Paul said it best. "And if Christ be not risen, then we are of all men most miserable!"
Our suffering has a nobility to it because Christ bore our sins and suffered setting a pattern for us.
We can overcome, We are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb!
Hebrews 4:15 tell us that we have VIP access to God.. we can come boldly before God for grace to help in time of need!
Harry Houdini once though he could conquer death and the masses gathered... no cigar. It didnt happen, Harry is still in the grave.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Houdini
Harry was beset with mediums and charlattans that were constantly trying to vie for the spotlight. It was said he wanted to believe in the spirit world, but the chicanery of these spiritualist made him want to expose them, which he often did.
Harry decided to tell his wife to contact him after death. He wanted to prove or disprove that LIFE AFTER DEATH was possible. Unfortunately he wasnt able to prove anything because he is still dead. No contacts were ever made. He couldnt conquer death, but Christ did! There is a grave for every leader, religious leader, and potentate, but not one for the Son of God.
The grand meaning for us, is that we have a divine purpose to fulfill, a BROADER PURPOSE AND A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
Revel in the fact of our Risen Saviour! Stay tuned for the next release:
He is not here for He is risen as He said.!!!
Read I Co 15 for further insight. Our second meaning of Easter is the fact that we can be Overcomers.. Stay tuned!
