No Room for Jesus at Easter-part 2

No Room for Jesus at Easter-part 2

You may be wondering just why I am presenting this discussion so early in April.  Before I continue, I want to simply say that I am presenting this for Christian’s consideration  early enough so that musicians can make sure that the worship music leading up to Easter Sunday helps to prepare worshipers hearts and minds of the real reason that we celebrate Easter. 

St Luke 23:33-34 records the real message behind the celebration of Easter, “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…”  The message of Easter is truly the “greatest story ever told” because it is a story of mercy and forgiveness.

Ephesians 2:1-5 tells our story, “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).”

Thought for the Day

Sometimes we may want others to think that we were always a nice person.  However, since God sees us in His divine “Ground Positioning Satellite”, He knows the rest of the story.
