He is Alive

This year's Easter has been one of the very best of all I've ever had. Though was down with some hiccups here and there, I'm glad He has manifested Himself in ways that feeble mind could comprehend and ponder. I am reminded about the significance of Easter, how about you? What is Easter to you? Well, I presume that your answer could be one of the following :-

(a) I don't really know. My family celebrates it every year. I just follow.
(b) Well, all I know is that Jesus suffered and was resurrected on this day.
(c) It is just another festival whereby we remember the resurrection of Christ.

(d) None of the above.
(e) All of the above except (d)

If you choose from options (a), (b), or (c), at least you know there is a reason why we celebrate Easter. If you choose (d), I would say that you're simply being indifferent. If you answer (e), well you're just too busy to think of an answer that would convince me that you really understand the true meaning of Easter.

I couldn't help but to write this blog. You know, it all starts with us knowing who Jesus really. When you know who Jesus is, you will be able to understand the significance of Easter, and even Christmas or any event that is related to Him. Easter is just one event that helps us to recognise Jesus. As children of God, we have to know and understand

(1) the birth of Jesus
(2) the suffering of Jesus
(3) the death of Jesus
(4) the resurrection of Jesus
(5) the second coming of Jesus


We all know that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. Then we are told that Good Friday is all about the death of Jesus, and Easter Sunday is about the resurrection of Jesus. What about the rest? All these events draw us back to knowing who Jesus really is. Now, aren't we glad we are serving a God who is very much like us and who is alive today!!
