A Blessed Easter
Sometimes people
tell me that they feel guilty every time they say Happy Easter. They don’t
believe that they should wish happiness on a day and time that is and should be
solemn. I understand their confusion.
These are usually non Christian would feel that we ought to be mourning
the death of our Lord and Savior. Given the circumstances, you can understand
why they feel this way. Christ endured all His suffering that we may all have eternal
life. It is believed to be the greatest gift of all time. I am overjoyed but I
refuse to hold any images of the crucifixion as a reminder.

A Blessed Easter At this, perhaps the most sacred of the Christian year Blessed with immortality though commemorative of despair Lord you forgave us for our iniquities Erased all our sins and suffered their cruelties Saved us from our tempestuous way Showed us to reach the Father, to kneel and pray Easter is the time we were saved through your suffering Death on the cross preceded your resurrecting Early followers would have felt some agony A convict released in place of someone so Holy Some of them may have even expected a different finish They may have anticipated something selfish Even though we now know the Easter finale Resurrection of the Holy Spirit still puzzles many |
