The Most Amazing Time

We’re coming up to the Easter season. This is the most amazing time. We celebrate Jesus defeating death. We offer thanks to God because Jesus rose rom the dead, and that we, too, can have eternal life. Let’s pause and think about what we tend to overlook.

While Eight hundred years before Jesus was crucified, Isaiah prophesied that a Messiah would come. Isaiah didn’t know the names of the upcoming players. He couldn’t use the names of Mary, Joseph, or even Jesus. But instead, he used terms like Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Jews who saw Jesus on the cross knew in their heads the Messiah was coming, but their hearts were elsewhere. Crazy, right?

But we do the same thing

We scratch our heads when we think of it. How could they miss it? We can’t fathom how they could be so ignorant (unknowing).

Really?

Look at our own ignorance today. Society celebrates the Easter Bunny, while the greatest gift of all is offered. Many are more involved with the ham and hot-cross buns when the family gets together than the truth of the miracle of the resurrection.

How can this be?

If it wasn’t so sad I’d be angry about it. If I hadn’t been one who had at one time turned my back and concentrated on Peeps and chocolate eggs, I wouldn’t understand.

Can We Call a Mulligan?

How about we call a Mulligan–a do-over.

 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19

Let’s start over, right now. Because of Jesus dying on the cross then raising from the dead, we have the luxury to change our future. We may know in our heads that Jesus came to save us all, but let’s continue to ponder on the marvels of Easter before we forget again. Let’s move our thoughts to beliefs during this the most amazing time. It’s not too late to put action to our knowledge and embrace the Good News—a King came to set us free!
