Happy Easter!
He is risen, he is risen indeed. How amazing. Today I was thinking that sometimes getting out of bed in the morning is incredibly hard, and yet Jesus rose from the dead. What?! I mean he finally leaves the filthy flesh and goes to the father and yet he comes back to earth. Why would he do that? I mean there is no way I am coming back to earth once I get to heaven. Pearly gates, angels singing, no pain, no tears, a wedding party all the time! I am there forever. Yet Jesus came back to give us hope. To finish his work. The cross part, and the entering hell part was not the end, it was the beginning for all of us. Him coming back to earth is more amazing to me than his original birth in the manger. That is amazing and all, but he hadn't quite seen first hand how hard headed us earthly people are. He knew that we would probably kill him again given the chance, that we would continue to sin, and be our hard headed selves, yet he rose from the dead anyway. He brought us life! That is why we celebrate today! Without him we would be dead as well. Yeah! Jesus!
