Christine in Croatia: Resurrected: Easter, Passover, Uskrs ...

What is the purpose of this life?

There is a saying

"It is not easy to convey

a sense of wonder,

let alone resurrection wonder,

to another",

I think that may be true,
YOU have to know for yourself,
...taste and see the Lord is good...

The real meaning of Easter.

"If Christ not be risen, our faith is in vain"

1Corinthians 15:14

"without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin."
Hebrews 9:22

It's Jesus Christ's blood,

His sacrificial death on the cross

AND

the fact that God rose Him from that death!

Year after year I would sit in church and think

“God where are you?

Why am I here?"

Then on August 26, 1984

I bowed my knee, confessed I was a sinner

- repented and asked Jesus to be my Lord-

my Savior.

God touched me there, gave me real peace.

Really I have never been the same since.

It's what Jesus did,
on the day we celebrate as Easter,
that made it possible for me to have a personal relationship with the Holy God of the Bible.

Jesus said:

"I am the resurrection, and the life:"

The Gospel of John
...they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”...
Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover...

Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified.
Then they took Jesus and led Him away...

The Empty Tomb

The Gospel of John, chapter 20...

...Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

And Thomas answered and said to Him,
“My Lord and my God!”

Romans 10:9-10

"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation"

That is worth celebrating!

Sretan Uskrs - Happy Easter,

Christine
