Easter!!

April 10 2006
Well Easter is coming up on Sunday, so here are my thoughts on Easter.
Why, as Christians, do we put more emphasis on Christmas than we do on Easter?  Is not the day that Jesus rose from the dead more impotant than his birth?  Yes, I know his birthday is important, but our faith is based on his resurection, not his birth!  So, you would not miss or forget Christmas so don't forget the reason behind our beliefs!  Believe in Easter and recognize it for the amazing day that it is!  Jesus came back to life from the DEAD!!!!!Just think about that and then realize the magnitude of it!!  He rose from the DEAD!!!  He is alive and living and active!!  Let him move in you in this special season!!  And here is a amazing song that tells that story:   


In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand


In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live


There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Brought with the precious blood of Christ


No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

'Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

i think everyone of phusebox agrees that easter is a WAY more important hoilday then christmas is... but its to bad that we make such a big deal about christmas.. we were talking about it in church today and we seem to make halloween a biggar deal then EASTER which is insane... and stupid.. and pointless... but easter is so much more important thenchristmas - liz
