"The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed
by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as
Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive
their sins. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy
Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Can I say I'm excited? Seriously, EXCITED! Our
mighty God in his miraculous way, breathed life back into his son. Jesus died,
then rose again. That's amazing, and unfathomable. My earthly mind doesn't understand.
For the logical side of my brain, it makes no sense. But guess what, the
resurrection happened.
I'd love to talk to Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary,
the women who saw Jesus alive after they watched him be crucified. Confusion
must have filled their brains, at first. But just imagine the joy that flowed
from their hearts once they understood. Their Lord and Savior lives.
Did I say I'm excited! I am. My Jesus lives. He's
not in a tomb, rotting away. He's not dead. He's alive. Because he lives, I
have hope for a future in heaven. I have the Holy Spirit to guide me. I have
peace amid the strife of this earth. Jesus gave his life for me and for you. He
died and rose again so that the people who follow him will have life after
death. So we can have joy, love, peace and hope.
Easter is more than the bunny. Easter is a celebration of life. Rejoice with me that Jesus lives!
