Today I am grateful for the true reason behind Easter: the sacrifice made and accomplished by Jesus Christ. He truly suffered for the sins, sorrows, pains, sicknesses, and heartaches of all mankind. He has felt it all so He can give us rest when we ask for it. He was rejected and lifted up on a cross by mortal men over 2,000 years ago. During the three days His body lay in the garden tomb, He truly did visit the world of spirits, taught His gospel, and had that message preached to every soul in the spirit world. Most of all, He did live on the third day, Easter Sunday, and ascended to heaven with a shining, perfected physical body. Because of what He did, and because He lives now, it is possible to overcome any obstacle, weakness, trial, addiction, and shortcoming through heavenly grace and live with God forever.
The commercial symbols of Easter is spring, bunnies, and little chicks. I think this is because Easter truly represents new life for every one of God's children. Grateful I am for the true meaning of Easter.
