Happy Easter!

“My God’s not dead
He’s surely alive
He’s living on the inside
Roaring like a lion”

-Newsboys “God’s Not Dead”

Many people will be attending Church today (Easter Sunday) and that is great. Sadly, many other people believe that Easter is only about bunnies and candy and do not understand what Easter is all about. Don’t get me wrong or think that I’m against Easter bunnies and candy – I’ve taken my children to Easter egg hunts or hidden eggs around the yard for my children over the years. I also made sure they understood the real meaning of Easter.

Matthew 28: 1-10 (NIV)

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. ’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them.  “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

I hope you enjoy the music and the video from the Newsboys called, “God’s Not Dead.”

Have a great week (don’t eat too much candy)!
