Chocolate's Not Just For Easter........Or Something Like That.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chocolate Eggs and Easter Bunny’s
Jesus died and I’m not being funny,
but what does that mean to you today?
What do you make of them taking Him away?
An innocent man, sentenced to death.
An innocent man’s final breath.
Can you accept that? Is that ok?
Would you allow that to happen today?
“No way” you say, “that’s just not right”.
“An innocent man? I’d put up a fight”.
... Well go on then, fight for Him now
be on His side, make your vow.
He died for me, He died for you
And if we die with Him, we can live with Him too!

 

Easter, A New Start

Easter is more about 'new' beginnings for me than New Year is. I actually think it's my favourite celebratory season.  It hasn't quite yet hit the commercialism of Christmas (although it's getting there!)

However tenuous the links are between the Easter eggs, bunny's and chick's and the like and Jesus' death and Resurrection, there is more of a link there than tree's inside houses and gaudy tinsel and Jesus' birth!

I love the hope Easter brings of the restoration God can bring about in our lives, whatever is broken and hopeless, He is there and is able to say to us "I will make it new, you can start again with my help".

And just in case there is any doubt about that, I think someone that is able to make a dead person alive again is quite able to equip us to resolve our puny problems!

Luke 1:37 ESV
"For nothing will be impossible with God.”
