Well, it's Christmas morning. All our gifts have been unwrapped, hugs exchanged, Christmas music is playing in the background, Kodak Moments have been digitized, the fire is burning, the AC is on because the fire is burning, and the turkey is stuffed and sitting in the roaster just beginning to cook. Cinnamon Rolls which were started last night have come out of the oven, adding the fragrance we connect with Christmas around here - but they were consumed a couple of hours ago, so most of us are over the sugar rush.
So, you might wonder, why am I wishing you a "Happy Easter?" Simple.
The day of Christ's birth is proof that we needed a savior. We needed a sacrifice, paid with the blood of an innocent being, but one which would cover us now and forever. But the big day on the Christian Calendar is Easter - because that is the day that Christ rose from the grave. That was God stamping our accounts with "Paid in Full."
Thank-you God for wanting so badly to reconnect with us, and loving us so much that you were willing to give us the gift of your son's very life. But most of all, thank-you that the price was paid, the payment was accepted, and we are now free to join you for all of eternity. Good deal.
Happy Easter!
