Such a Day as This.......

I am probably the last person in the world to talk about religion seeing how I don't attend a church, but I do have the one the thing that in the Christianity belief that is vital.....I believe in the living Jesus Christ, that He died for the sins of humanity and that He rose again three days later. When one thinks about the story of the Resurrection, it goes without saying that reading between the lines in crucial in order to understand the balance of what happened that fateful day.

Ask yourself, " Could I really put my life on the line for people that I did not know, dying for their sins, at the cost of my own?" Now, most parents will tell you that they would indeed die for their children, maybe their siblings, and especially their parents. But for a perfect stranger? Nah, not hardly. But that's EXACTLY what Jesus did!!!  He put it all on the line for those who did not believe so that they would see that He was the ulitmate Son.

Now, maybe it's at this point that I should maybe make a statement.....as mentioned previously, at the moment I do not have a home church. As a matter of fact, the last church service I attended was months ago and it left me feeling like that there was more to what being a Christian is all about. To me, the people of a church are not only there to serve Jesus, but to serve others who need to be witnessed to. As a child, I was taught that it was better to give than to received and in my later years, I still use that when I see that there are those who need more than a "handout".

The great thing about our country today is the mixture of cultures and religions that fill our beautiful country. Now, I have to admit, I don't understand alot about of cultures and their religions, and I don't pretend to know everything about such issues. Yes, I have had moments where I would begin to judge someone based on strictly on who they are and what they believe. That's not my place at all in this great big world.

As those who are observing today as critical to our beliefs as Christians, take a moment to enjoy such a day as this, to remember the sacrifice that was made by the Son of God, who put His life before others without so much as a thank you.

As for all the eggs to be hunted, there is a reminder that it is  all about renewal....of life, of love and that it can all be found in Jesus.

Until we meet again,
