The Reason for the Season

Hey everyone!
OK so it's Saturday night the night before Easter. Everyone has traditions that they do for Easter some go see there family and some stay home. But every Easter we are marketed with candy, large (adorable fluffy) rabbits and chickens, Easter egg hunts and much more. But with all of the yummy food and festivities sometimes as Christians we loose sight of why we are celebrating. Jesus raising from the dead is why we are celebrating. Take sometime tonight or tomorrow to get out your Bible and read about the real reason for the season. You can find the Easter story in Mark 14 - 16. It will not take very long to read but sometimes a simple reminder of why we are celebrating is in order. Happy Easter everyone! Remember Always that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

Here is a free poem I found, which I really liked, about Easter online. Enjoy!

Easter Joy

Jesus came to earth,

To show us how to live,

How to put others first,

How to love and how to give.

Then He set about His work,

That God sent Him to do;

He took our punishment on Himself;

He made us clean and new.

He could have saved Himself,

Calling angels from above,

But He chose to pay our price for sin;

He paid it out of love.

Our Lord died on Good Friday,

But the cross did not destroy

His resurrection on Easter morn

That fills our hearts with joy.

Now we know our earthly death,

Like His, is just a rest.

We'll be forever with Him

In heaven, where life is best.

So we live our lives for Jesus,

Think of Him in all we do.

Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.

Help us love like you!
