"'He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."'"
Luke 24:6-7 (NKJ)
Happy Resurrection Day, people of the blogging world!
Resurrection Day is another term for Easter. And indeed, it is a happy day.
It's happy because of what it means, what Christ's resurrection means, for us. Three days before, He had been crucified and had died--but He did it to offer Himself as a sacrifice in order to redeem us from our sins. And according to His word, we would know His sacrifice worked (that we were forgiven) when He rose from the dead three days later. If He didn't rise from the dead, that would mean that we would be stuck in our sin, unable to have a relationship with God, unable to go to heaven--because no human being is perfect, no one is good enough on their own.
But Christ was resurrected! He did rise from the grave! His sacrifice redeems us of every mistake me made and every sin we ever committed if we accept Him as our Savior. Because of His sacrifice and the fact that He lives, we are completely redeemed. It's such a wonderful, awesome, joyous thing to know.
So I hope you do have a wonderful Resurrection Day. :)
