| What is the significance of Easter to the Christian? For some people, Easter strictly belongs to the realm of the Easter bunny and family get togethers. For others, Easter is primarily a time of celebrating Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. For many, Easter, like Christmas, is celebrated as a combination of the secular and the sacred.
Understanding Easter from a Christians perspective is vitally important. The celebration of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection from the dead is crucial for believers in Jesus' Christ . Without this doctrine, there is no Christianity and no Christian Easter.
Beyond doctrine is the knowledge of the truth that Jesus died to pay the penalty of death that we deserve for our sin, was buried, and rose with a glorified body, gaining victory over death and the grave. When we put our faith in Him by believing through faith alone in Christ alone, we have the promise of one day having a body like our Lord's and reigning with Him in heaven.
Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await to Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that we will be like his glorious body."
2 Timothy 2:11-12 Here is a trustworthy saying; If we died with him, we will also live with him, if we endure, we will also reign with him. This gives hope to the Christian at Easter time and throughout the year.
Easter is the reality of our Savior Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection which transcends failed hopes in things that come up hollow and empty. Out of the pain , suffering, and shame Jesus experienced on our behalf, truth came, LIFE EVERYLASTING came. What a glorious HOPE you can share with those who are looking expectantly for the truth.
ETERNITY OUR FUTURE; WE SHALL BE CAUGHT UP IN THE AIR TO RECEIVE OUR GLORIFED BODIES AND WILL SEE HIM IN HIS RESURRECTED BODY FOR THE FIRST TIME.
For it is WITH God ALL things are possible
HAVE A VERY BLESSED FRIDAY AND EASTER WEEKEND.
GLORY BE TO GOD
1 John 3:2 Beloved , now we are children of God and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body, it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power, it is sown an natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
Please put in prayer Tim Acosta, he having trouble with white cells not producing. he had a kidney and pancreas transplant.

Location: Somewhere between S@%&# stirrer and Saint | The Atonement of Jesus Christ consists of 3 parts. His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, His death on the cross, and His resurrection.
Jesus's atoning sacrifice took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. In Gethsemane He submitted to the will of the Father and began to take upon Himself the sins of all people. He has revealed some of what He experienced as He paid the price for our sins: “I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; “But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I; “Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink— “Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men” ( Luke 22:44). The Savior continued to suffer for our sins when He allowed Himself to be crucified—“lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world”. On the cross, He allowed Himself to die. His body was then laid in a tomb until He was resurrected and became “the firstfruits of them that slept” ( 1 Corinthians 15:20). Through His death and Resurrection, He overcame physical death for us all.
