Well, "Easter" is over and I think the candy manufacturers are counting their profits, and the dentists are looking forward to some more business soon. Just like "Christmas", I feel that as a Christian I celebrate Jesus's birth and then His death for our sins all year long. I actually am not a big fan of the secular celebrations of these events, as they really have nothing to do with the real meaning. I think it actually makes it confusing to people, especially kids. A comment in the newspaper by a teen stated that he never knew that "Easter" was about Jesus until he became a Christian. I tried to tell the true story about Easter by getting some "Resurrection Eggs", which is a fun way to show the kids the true meaning, but it still may be confusing to them. What DOES the "Easter bunny" have to do with anything?
I'm not going to explore that, but have been concentrating on God's love for us. I'm doing a bible study about it right now, which causes me to look into it more. His love is truly amazing! 2 Cor. 2:8, 9 tells us that "though he was rich, for our sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty we might become rich." All the talk about the "Royals" these days, got me thinking. Imagine the Queen of England and all of the prestige and pomp and ceremony that surrounds her, taking the place of Mother Teresa. I don't mean visiting the streets of Calcutta like Princess Diana. I mean staying there to work wiith the lepers, to become a servant to them, and then finding the poorest, most unworthy person and saying, "You go and sit in my place of royalty. I will stay here and serve those in need."
God's love is amazing, isn't it?!
