Resurrection Day
From The Pastor’s Desk
Mankind makes very little of the word sin. To us, sin is simply part of our daily lives. Yet, to a Holy God, sin is that horrible human cancer that separates us from our Creator – A Creator who desires to tabernacle and live with us. When sin first entered this world, man began to die and the penalty for sin had attached itself to our very souls. Death is the penalty of sin and every human will one day pay that penalty. But, God who “so loved the world” came down to us – He alone paid that penalty for our very sins. He went to the cross where He died. He laid in the grave (tomb) dead for three days and three nights. Indeed, our sins were paid but He was dead. Then, on that third day, the most amazing thing happened. The very God who died rose from the grave. He had not only paid the penalty for sin but He eradicated sin for every person who accepted His sacrifice. Now, because He lives, we can choose to live with Him – It is our choice and His word encourages us to choose life not death. \Today we celebrate that victory over death on this Resurrection Day – We call it Easter.
