| The best way to understand the real meaning of Easter would be from Jesus. The real meaning is a three word answer......
THE NEW COVENANT.
Jesus had come in town for the Passover celebration and was getting ready to be betrayed y one of the disciples, publicly humiliated, mocked, and beaten beyond recognition, and hung on the cross to die, when he made his special request for his followers to remember that He gave his body for us and poured out his blood as a sacrifice for us. The heart of Easter lies in his word, THE NEW COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND HIS PEOPLE.
In Luke 22, we get a picture of the night before his death:
When the time came , Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table. Jesus said, " I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. For I tell you now that I wont eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. " Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said," Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom if God has come." He took some break and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples , saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me." After supper he took another cup of wine and said, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people.......and agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
1 Corinthians 16:4 Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Father God, there is sometimes controversy about how, when, and what to call the remembrance of the greatest day of history, the day Jesus Christ, your beloved Son, rose from the dead and brought the gift of your forgiveness and eternal life to all who would like to receive it, the new covenant. Please pour out your Holy Spirit on all who believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and put us on our knees before you with thankful hearts for your great love for us. You, oh God, have given us victory over sin and death, and the promise of never leaving us or forsaking us for eternity. Help us to be the body of Christ, the church, united in awe of how you saved our unworthy souls.......your body and your blood as a sacrifice for us. Help us to bring this message to all who will listen. Help us to love like you love. In the Precious Blood of Jesus, our Lord and Savior we pray all these things. AMEN
For it is with God all things are possible.
Have a very BLESSED Thursday, will you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior?
Lord Jesus, Thank you for dying on the cross to pay for my sins. Thank you heavenly Father for raising Jesus from the dead three days later. I repent of my sins and all the bad things I have done that has displeased you. Jesus, I invite you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Thank You for taking the punishment of my sins upon yourself. I now put my faith and trust in you Jesus. I pledge to follow you with my whole heart. Thank You Jesus for securing my place with you in heaven. Now fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit and show me how to live for You. In Jesus Name AMEN
Friend, if you prayed this prayer with all your mind, soul and heart, we believe you got born again. This will be your first day in a brand new relationship with God. Go forth in faith , your words, actions and reactions shows where your are in Christ.
TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!
Revealing Jesus words as something we can all hang our hearts upon, some large and durable lessons in life. At times when we are distressed or depressed, when our frets or dreads threaten to overwhelm us, the words of Jesus can do wonders.
BLESSING TO ALL! 
My chains are gone I've been set free, by AMAZING GRACE.

| Living in a world that seems to have completely lost its moral compass and feeling like God and Jesus have been removed from every aspect of our lives I find great comfort in knowing I can look to barrel horse world to not only feed my soul with the love of everything horses, but to feed my spirituality and faith. Thank you for your daily words and reminders. It is a true light in the middle of the darkness and reminds me that there is still so much love in this world. Happy Easter. |
