Having been privileged to have cataract surgery and an intra ocular lens implanted into my right eye this Easter week, I am reminded, by the astonishing miracle of improvement to my vision, of the other miracle that happened to me almost thirty years ago. This was when the truth of the Easter message penetrated my understanding and my life was forever changed.
I finally understood the fact that Jesus is the Son of God, that He gave His life on the cross, was buried and was raised by the power of God, all this to offer me the opportunity for a restored relationship with God the Father, that was ruined, severed by Adam and Eve many years ago, a state inherited by each and every one of us born since then.
What a sacrifice! What a price paid!
The gospel of John states in chapter three verse sixteen, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life."
This offer is for one and all. For each of us to realize that we need forgiveness and the peace and joy that a restored relationship with God brings.
This Easter time please consider this question - What will you do with Jesus?
Life is uncertain, death is inevitable. This question needs to be considered before it's too late.
Make this Easter a memorable one for the right reason. This time is more than a welcome clutch of public holidays, just for our pleasure, to eat fish on Good Friday and consume hot cross buns and Easter Eggs. We have time away from our routines to think.
The cross on the buns reminds us of the cross on which Jesus died, the hollow in the chocolate egg reminds us that the tomb in which Jesus was placed is empty.
He is risen!
Happy Easter
Simply Susan
