- Remembering the Gift
Or for the Christians, is it about going to church just to see the Easter drama then come home and sleep? Okay maybe if you know and believe the message of Easter, and being thankful for what has happened, then sleeping is okay. Haha.
So what is Easter about?
Over 2000 years ago Jesus died for us on the cross, for our sins, bearing all the pain and suffering, just like all of us who are having pains and sufferings. Why did He die for us then?
Ok lets go back to before 2000 years ago. Last time, when people sin, they have to offer sacrifices, and usually it's with blood. Lamb's blood. To pay for our sins, since God says with sin comes death.
So Jesus died for us to be the ultimate sacrifice, so that we wouldn't have to kill innocent lambs anymore for everytime we sin. But why Jesus? Because He's God's Son. Why? Go find out yourselves LOL. There's always Google.
And so after 3 days from His death, He rose to life! It's called the Resurrection. And so now, he's doing fine and alive in heaven, just waiting to come back here, and because of that, all we need to do after we sin instead of killing little lambs, is to ask for forgiveness from God through a simple short prayer. :)
