Easter Sunday

Part 3 of my Easter posts and this one is on Easter Sunday :the climax of the Easter story. Easter Sunday is three days after Good Friday ; the day Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins but more importantly the day Jesus rose again. The women from Galilee and Joseph went to the stone to find that the stone had been rolled away and the body of Jesus had gone. There were two guards at the stone who said to Joseph and the women : " if you are looking for the body of Jesus he has risen from the dead". The amazing power of Jesus was evident as he rose from the dead and did so to be reunited at the right hand of his Father and to be our saviour. The Easter story is pivotal to the christian life as if Jesus didnt surrender his life for us on a cross then a ) our sins wouldnt be forgiven and b) we couldnt have a relationship with God. This Easter and forever remember what the Lord Jesus did for you. If you want a relationship with him , bow before him and ask for forgiveness for our sins and ask him to come into your life and your name will be written in the lambs book of life.  To finish of my easter posts here are some Easter bible quotes :

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."
-- 1 John 3:16 NIV

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
-- John 3:16 NIV
