Happy Easter!

This weekend is one of the most important holidays for those that hold to the Christian faith, as do we.  It is a good time to reflect on what Jesus did for us as a man when he was here on earth many years ago.  As the Bible tells us in Romans 5 verses 6-8; When we were utterly helpless with no way of escape, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners who had no use for him. Even if we were good, we really wouldn't expect anyone to die for us, though, of course, that might be barely possible.  But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.  (Living Bible)  I am very thankful for his great love for me and that I didn't need to reach a certain level of goodness before coming to him in repentance and asking him to be my Savior and Lord.  I am also thankful for his continued grace in my life.  If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior I would encourage you to give it some serious thought this Easter season.  Hopefully you have time to worship  Jesus at a church service and maybe share some special time with family and friends.  We will be having a carry in Easter breakfast at our church tomorrow morning before the service and then we have some friends, that  we haven't seen for quite awhile, coming to our house for lunch.  I am looking forward to a very good day!
