Easter and Born Again

Good Morning,

As we start our journey into Easter Weekend. I wanted to share my thoughts.

I know a lot of people say the misrepresentation of Easter is diminishing the significance of it. The fact is we as Christians need to focus on the significance. Not the commercial aspect.  Gifts that anyone can give are nothing in comparison to the ACT the Lord and Savior did for ALL OF US when he went to the Cross.  

Thin about what crimes would have got someone Crucified in Jesus's Time. The Romans developed Crucifixion as away to suppress rebellion against thee command. Part of the crucifixion was being scourged. Thus having ones back torn to shreds by a flagrum a device that removed flesh even with one stroke. So you would be held out in a public area and essentially whipped with the Flagrum till near death then be forced to be put on a cross via Nails and hung up right. Thus having your back against the rugged exposed wood of the cross arms out causing the breathing to become pain full and you would have to push up on your ankles that are nailed as well to relieve the chest pain.

IF the Romans got tired of waiting they would break your legs to prevent you using them to aid in your breathing.

This is what Jesus endured  (Minus the broken Legs)  for us his children who would come later. We would commit the sins he paid for. As humans we are NOT flawless. We have era's We have issues , we slip we fall.  Even when are friends are not there Jesus is.

So on Easter Remember this is the day when Jesus rose again from the grave and proceeded to be next to God. Shocking the Romans and those around that in 3 days he went from dead to Risen. This is why we celebrate Easter. Not the Dinner, Candy , Easter bunny. The fact a man died to protect us and went through such unbelievable pain and suffering for things he was not guilty of.    To give us Ever Lasting Life.
