YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT... Why? Is it because of the Easter Bunny, the marshmallow Peeps, the Egg Hunts, or maybe the new wardrobe that you purchased to look "Springy" on this beautiful April 4th day. I hate to break it to you, but none of that matters. Sure the kids enjoy candy, but what day on this green earth is that not the case. We all like to look new and fresh in bright clothes, but does that make Easter?
It might just be semantics, but I would rather call today "Resurrection Sunday" then Easter. Why you might ask? Simply because of the commercialization that Christian days of observance have turned into. Don't get me started on Christmas...
Before you start thinking that I am anti-Easter, let me make my case. I am so excited that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, but more importantly because He rose from the dead. This distinct factual evidence is what sets my God apart from other gods that people worship. I am so emphatic about Him being "Alive" that I have chosen to celebrate this fact EVERY DAY!!! Why not? If you believe so strongly in something, why would you want to keep it a secret the other 364 days a year.
So while I rejoice with everybody today as they celebrate Easter, I would like to proclaim that as in years past, I will be celebrating and rejoicing that my Savior LIVES and is ALIVE today. I pity people that think that this is a religion from the past and just a relic. I have no idea where they are coming from. The Bible comes alive to me on a daily basis, because I am proactively yearning to know who I serve. I am not religious, but rather have made a concerted effort to pursue a relationship with Jesus.
May we all understand the importance of Jesus Christ rising from the dead. I SERVE A RISEN LORD. May we serve Him every day going forward...
