Happy Easter

I would like to say Happy Easter to everyone, and may you be blessed.

Also, I would like to write a bit about Easter. Sometimes Easter gets treated like Christmas, but this time there is no Santa, but chocolate bunnies.

People tend to forget the significance of this great event. This is the weekend where Jesus Christ was crucified, but more importantly He rose from the dead on the third day, and lives. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for the whole world. Not just Christians, but the whole world. He is the holy lamb, the perfect sacrifice so that God forgave us our sins. It is written in Hebrews 8 verse 12: "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Also in Romans 11 verse 27 :"And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."And in Hebrews 10 verse 11: "Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."

These words mean that He has forgiven ALL our sins, and He does not think about it anymore. It does not exist in His realm. Isn't that amazing!! Our God truly is amazing! Thank you Father.

I leave you with the following lyrics from Chris Tomlin - Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God


Christ on the Cross, by Jan van Boeck
