Easter and New Life
Easter traditions around the world have a common basis in new life. Some say it’s because of Spring which is showing new life in the ground, animals and surroundings. Others say its a tradition families have to get Easter outfits, have a visit from the bunny and extended family comes for Easter dinner. No matter how you dress it up, Easter’s one common basis is found in new life.
Who Do You Say That I Am?
The world has been asked, “Who do you say that I am?” referring to Jesus’ question to Peter in the Bible. To a Born Again Christian, Jesus is new life and has given us new life. We’ve answered His question…”Who do you say that I am”. We’ve been given new life in Him, through the crucifiction on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. Easter has always been about new life in one way or another.
No One Excluded…Everyone Included
Not only has the question been proposed to all mankind, but the offer of new life has also been given. You don’t have to be good enough or do enough good things in your lifetime. Just answer the question of “Who do you say that I am?”, receive Him into your life and follow His Word. God’s grace has gone out to all….God has not withheld His grace from anyone.
What Can I do?
You might ask the same question the jailer asked of Paul and Silas when all the jail cells were opened and the shackles fell off all the prisoners….”What is necessary for me to do that I may be saved?” (Acts 16:24-34 Amplified Version)Paul’s answer to the jailer was simple, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (give yourself into His keeping) and you will be saved…..”
Have You Answered the Question Yet?
Easter is new life…resurrection from your old dead life to new life! Who do you say Jesus is? Who is He to you? When you’ve answered the question, here’s a way to ‘believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (give yourself into His keeping) and be saved’.
