No Room for Jesus at Easter-part 3


No Room for Jesus at Easter-part 3
The last two blog posts have been reminders of how those in ancient Bethlehem and all of us in this century have treated Jesus.  It is one thing for the un-regenerated to ignore Jesus, but is another thing for Christian to unintentionally push Him into the background during the Easter season. 
Luke 21:34 warns,” And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.”  Hopefully, those who call themselves Christians aren’t guilty of drunkenness or surfeiting (kraipale 2897) i.e. a headache caused by getting drunk.  However, we are susceptible to letting the “cares of this life” push Christ into the background during the Easter season.  So, musicians should make sure that the musicing  during the Easter preparation is much more thorough than a few songs about resurrection on Easter Sunday morning.
