After Jesus died, they took his body down and put him in the tomb, and a giant millstone was set in front of the cave. You know the story. Approximately 1 billion Christians plus will celebrate Easter this month.
Easter is the good news about God’s Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came as a human baby, born into King David’s royal family line. He showed himself to 500 people at one gathering. Can you imagine witnessing his death and then seeing him walking around Jerusalem three days later? What an amazing thing! The skeptics and critics mocked him and said, “Why don’t you just come down and show that you’re really God?” He said, “I’m going to let you bury me for three days, then I’ll come back to life to prove that I am what I am.”
What does this mean to us today?
What’s your verdict? Easter really boils down to only two issues. One, is Jesus who he says he is? Is he God? Or is he a lunatic or a liar? And two, if he is who he says he is, when are you going to start following what he says to do with your life?
Just as Pilate asked, “What shall I do then with Jesus who is called the Christ?” You also must decide whether he was who he said or not.
Are you willing to gamble your life that he was wrong?
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to God so now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
