My Easter Celebrations

We had a great weekend celebrating Jesus' death, burial and Resurrection. From Friday on we had friends and family over to eat and remember that God in His rich mercy sent His only son to die in our place for our sins. On Friday we ate dinner and watched the Passion movie with friends. Saturday we dyed Easter eggs and watched an animated version of the Passion with the kids, read scripture from Isaiah, Romans and 1 Corinthians together, and talked much about Jesus' death and then ultimately His rising from the dead. Sunday we worshiped with our brothers and sisters purchased by the blood of the Lamb who was offered as a sacrifice once for all time. We came home with family and friends and ate ham and talked about the sermon. We did egg battles, egg hunts and relaxed. By the end of the weekend we were tired, but refreshed at the same time. Our savior is not dead! He lives and is seated at the right hand of the Father. My sins are forgiven. I belong to Jesus. I am God's child. Hallelujah! This is something worth celebrating, even without all the food and fun.


1Corinthians 15 :3-4 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
