It’s a wonderful time of the year.
A time where people wear bright colors and talk about bunnies. It’s a time where there is a newfound peace that comes on the world when this time arrives, much like Christmas. Well, it’s become this way for me at least.
I’ll share what I know about Easter. I’ll share what I believe, and I am well aware that this might be different to what others are thinking and believing. I’m not here to bash or berate, but to share what I’m thinking, feeling and hearing.
Easter is about one man. One God who saw a bunch of beings He created with love and creativity, going astray and hurting themselves more than they could have possibly known. He knew they couldn’t do anything besides destroy themselves. So he sent a man who looked just like them to die in their place, because they were just this close to dying a painful death with heavy retribution.
The story of Easter is a story of triumph, love and sacrifice. It’s a story that I am still intrigued by and will forever be intrigued by. Especially because of what He decided to do today, which was die and go to hell and fight for me, you, everyone, despite the fact that we’d naturally want to disobey and mock his royalty.
Easter is a time of love for me, because I am in awe of what one man decided to do, without shortcuts (or pain killers too. Di you know that Jesus refused to take any pain killers before his execution? I still think about this a lot.)
I hope you all enjoy your day, and enjoy your time with loved ones on this special day.
