When I was growing up Easter was always a wonderful time, not just for hunting Easter eggs and not only for getting some extra candy with my Easter basket. We went to church to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. Now in our fellowship we really celebrated Christ’s resurrection every Sunday, but Easter was special.
Many in our country do not emphasize the resurrection anymore because they think it is such a far-out story and too unbelievable. That’s true for the skeptic anyway. And so, I am writing today to those who hopefully believe in the resurrection.
So, what happens after Easter?
Does His resurrection make any difference in your life?
Please consider 1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead.
The greatest Giver Who ever lived willingly gave His life so that you and I can have eternal life. While His gift is free, He made certain requirements for receiving that gift. We will have to come to Him on His terms.
Think about it, please!
