Easter - a holiday for everyone |
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49427
By Greg Laurie
I heard about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all the
holidays that people of faith celebrated. He said to a friend, "You
Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their holidays like
Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don't have recognized holidays.
It's unfair discrimination."
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you atheists could
celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April Fool's Day.
It fits, because 'the fool has said in his heart there is no God.'"
And that is, in fact, what the Bible tells us in Psalm 14:1 and 53:1.
However, Easter is for everyone. It is not about bunnies or brightly colored
eggs, however. Rather, it is about Jesus, and specifically, it is about
Jesus crucified and risen again from the dead.
I don't know how you might describe your life this Easter. Maybe you are
full of faith and looking forward to joining your family and friends at
church and perhaps a special meal later in the day. If everything is going
well for you, then praise God for that.
For others, it might be a different story. Easter might be a reminder, like
Christmas, of someone who is no longer with them. And with every year that
passes, that loved one is remembered and missed. So for some, Easter is a
bittersweet day.
Death can seem so cruel, so harsh and so final. And that is exactly how the
disciples felt when they saw the beaten, bloodied body of their Lord hanging
on a Roman cross. Then, in addition to the crucifixion, a Roman soldier took
his spear, thrust it into Jesus' side, and out of it came blood and water.
There was no question about it. Christ had died. And if the crucifixion
hadn't killed him, certainly the spear of the Roman soldier would have. The
disciples thought it was over. They thought death had finished it.
If they would have thought back, they would have remembered this was the
same Lord who had raised people from the dead. He raised the daughter of
Jairus. He raised Lazarus after he already was in the process of
decomposition. And if they would have thought back, they would have
remembered that on the day Lazarus was raised, Jesus said, "I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he
shall live" (John 11:25 NKJV). But it is hard to see through eyes that have
been blinded by tears.
So the disciples were shocked to find an angel waiting for them with the
good news: "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him"
(Mark 16:6 NKJV). They thought He was dead. But He was alive again.
Because Jesus has died and has risen again, it means that we as believers do
not have to be afraid of death. As 1 Corinthians 15:20 tells us, "But the
fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first
of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again" (NLT). Jesus
has gone to the other side, He has returned, and He has the keys to death
and hell (see Revelation 1:18).
It's hard for us to accept that our bodies are wearing out. Yet the Bible
says we will have new bodies one day: "We, too, wait anxiously for that day
when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new
bodies he has promised us" (Romans 8:23 NIV).
You see, my body is not the real me. The real me is my soul, my spirit. This
body will die. But my soul will live on. One day, you may open up the
newspaper and read that Greg Laurie died. But don't you believe a word of
it, because at the moment you read that I have died, I will be more alive
than I have ever been before in the presence of God. And the same could be
said for every believer.
And here is the message of Jesus: You are going to see your loved ones
again. You will be with them. Not only are they a part of your past, but
they are also part of your future. He is the resurrection and the life, and
if we believe in Him, though we were dead, yet shall we live.

Know what's really funny? This one:

Know why it's so funny? Because my nephew asked me to see his latest art
project (moi being the resident artiste in the family). And THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT IT WAS! Jeebus on the cross made out of clothes pins!! Of course I
had to ooh and aah and tell him what a good job he'd done, but all I could
think was "Holy crap! Jesus on the cross made out of clothes pins!! That's
just wrong!".
Oy vey everybody ;)

I'm glad to see someone else who's aware of that fact: it's not an
official Easter until you bite the heads off a few Peeps.
Huh. All those years I never had an official Easter...

I heard about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all the
holidays that people of faith celebrated. He said to a friend, "You
Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their
holidays like Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don't have
recognized holidays. It's unfair discrimination."
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you atheists
could celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April
Fool's Day. It fits, because 'the fool has said in his heart there is
no God.'"
And that is, in fact, what the Bible tells us in Psalm 14:1 and 53:1.
However, Easter is for everyone. It is not about bunnies or brightly
colored eggs, however. Rather, it is about Jesus, and specifically, it
is about Jesus crucified and risen again from the dead.
It's all about the chocolate, *****.
And Peeps! Don't forget the Peeps!
I'm glad to see someone else who's aware of that fact: it's not an

No problem...but what do you do if there are sugar-free Peeps? ;-)

If it's a Peep, it runs a high risk of getting fried - after the beheading, of

I heard about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all
the
holidays that people of faith celebrated. He said to a friend, "You
Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their
holidays like Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don't have
recognized holidays. It's unfair discrimination."
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you
atheists
could celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April
Fool's Day. It fits, because 'the fool has said in his heart there is
no God.'"
And that is, in fact, what the Bible tells us in Psalm 14:1 and 53:1.
However, Easter is for everyone. It is not about bunnies or brightly
colored eggs, however. Rather, it is about Jesus, and specifically,
it
is about Jesus crucified and risen again from the dead.
It's all about the chocolate, *****.
And Peeps! Don't forget the Peeps!

Well, we don't EAT them. Ewwww!
