Title Let's Restore the Blessings of Easter!
Contents
In Christianity, Easter is one of the ecclesiastical seasons that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the crucifixion. After the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 decided to observe the first full moon after the vernal equinox on the Sunday after the vernal equinox, the date was calculated differently and, depending on the time, it was located between March 22 and April 25.
On Easter Sunday school, the teacher gives out plastic egg models and explains Easter. And they are told to put something that symbolizes the resurrection in it. One child goes outside and brings flowers. And saying, “The flower symbolizes life.” Easter is life. All students applaud. The other students came this time with butterflies and leaves. The teacher asks the emotionally disabled, who has always been a laughing stock. "What did you bring?" And all students pay attention. It had not been put in anything. Children burst into laughter. Then the child said, “Teacher! The tomb of Jesus was also empty.” Yes. Jesus was resurrected and his tomb was empty. John 11:25 “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he dies, will live” 1 Thessalonians 11:25 “Jesus said to me, “I have hope in God, which they are waiting for, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.” 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.”
Martin Luther said, "Our Lord has not only written the promise of the Resurrection in books, but also the new spring leaf." It happened when an Indian missionary, Sundar Singh, visited England. A university professor asked a question. "Why did you abandon the long-wetted tradition of Hinduism and believe in Christianity?" That is, the question was, what is the difference between Hinduism and Christianity? He simply replied, "Because the resurrected Jesus lives."
After the nation was completely destroyed by the Roman general Titus in 70 B.C., the Jews wandered around the world for 2000 years until the establishment of the nation of Israel again in 1948, living in the sorrow of no nation. Nevertheless, what has survived until now is to build a synagogue and keep the Sabbath. And history is not lost. Regarding the Nazi Germany massacre of 6 million Jews, "Forgive Germany, but let's not forget!" Another is 'identity' - the problem of 'who we are'.
What should believers in Jesus remember?
To Timothy, Paul tells Timothy, “Remember the risen Jesus Christ!” (2 Timothy 2:8) There is a blessing.
First, he gave peace to those who lost it (verses 19, 21).
Second, He gave the mission to those who lost it (verse 21).
Third, He blessed the lonely people to be with them (verse 22).
