Sometimes we forget (or ignore?) what Easter is really all about
Colored eggs? chocolate candy? Cute little bunnies?
It begins at Christmas, with the manger and the shepherds and wise men for sure...BUT...
We move from a borrowed manger to a borrowed tomb....
Words on that from Jamie Statema...
"It's not just about the manger where the baby lay. It's not all about the angels who sang for Him that day. It's not all about the shepherds, or the bright and morning star. It's not all about the wise men who traveled from afar.
It's about the cross! It's about my sin! It's about how Jesus came to be born once so we could be born again! It's about the stone that was rolled away so that you and I could have real life someday! It's about the cross!
It's about God's love nailed to a tree. It's about how every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me! It's about the cross!
The beginning of the story is wonderful and great. But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate!"
It's about the cross...it's about my sin!
It's about how every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me!
It's about the stone that was rolled away so that you and I could have real life someday....
YES, it's all about the cross!
