"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
Jesus died for us, to bring eternal life to every human being that has or ever will live. 'Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not dead, but lives'. We will all be resurrected one day. Our probationary time on earth is to prove ourselves worthy to return to Him. His gift endures the ages of past, present and future.
Better yet, Jesus, also atoned for our sins. By recognizing our mistakes and asking His forgiveness, we will be washed clean of the burdens that beset us. No gift is greater than this, 'that a person lay down his life for his friends', as Jesus did for us. Seek Him, always remember Him and he will comfort you.
Easter has been taken over by commercialism so much so, that we have to work to remember the origial purpose of it. The trinkets we receive this week pale in comparison to the resurrection. Along with treats, family time and egg hunts, think of Jesus' precious gift that we'll enjoy every day through and into eternity.
