Editors Note Easter Means Eternal Life A perfect God demands a perfect justice; He cannot let us get away with sin. We used God’s gift of our free will to trespass, So heaven’s gates were closed; we couldn’t get in. Our sin required our blood, a sacrifice, To atone for all the wrongs that we had done. “But I love them!” cried our Father, filled with sorrow; “I’ll send my only Son to be the one.” Good Friday marks the slaying of our Jesus, The unblemished lamb, the perfect sacrifice. He took our guilt and blame upon Himself,So we could be with Him in paradise. On Easter morning, he came back from death; He vanished from the tomb, the empty grave. His resurrection means eternal life For us, the ones he came to earth to save. This summarizes all the Easter story And because of it, we’ll be with Him in glory. Some remember walking up the sidewalk to church on Easter morning with their family. Mom wore a hat, Dad was in a suit, and the children had on their finest Spring clothes. Others remember searching for eggs and candy, then tearing into an Easter basket brimming with treats. Christians give thanks for the resurrection of Christ, while others look forward to the daffodils and crocus’ to appear. Whatever your memories, Easter is a time of renewal and awakening. Here are some examples of hopeful thoughts to share with those who join you in celebrating Easter and the arrival of Spring.
