What is it?  Easter eggs? Easter Bunnies? Easter Candy? Easter is a Victory!  Jesus Christ is Easter!   Jesus Christ it the victor!  Inasmuch as one comes to Jesus and yet falls, he is forgiven!   Yet, not with a complacency of heart does this apply.  In other words, if you knowingly enter into sin, without regard to the pain it inflicts upon our Lord and Savior, then contrition of heart will be nescessary to overcome the sin.  Contrition of heart is the burning desire for forgiveness from Jesus Christ through prayer and confession of the aformentioned sin or sins.   This is Easter!

Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, came into the world for the sake of us all.   That we may believe and recieve this incrediable Joy!

The Joy is experienced when an invitation is openly expressed and extended to Jesus Christ from our hearts to His heart.  He lifts our burdens and washes the hurt away. When He does this, the experience is Real!!  The washing away truly experienced and the humility is joyful.   Why?   We experience ‘Heaven’ at this time.  The unbelieveable truth!  The truth that Jesus is ‘Real’ That ‘Sin’ is real, and He loves us unconditionally.   This friends is what ‘all the shouting is about’!!   Yet, like any of us, He wants to be wanted.   The friendship, the joy, the warmth one enjoys with a friend is what our Lord wants from us.  This is what we want and this is what He wants!   Complacency is not His delight!!  Anymore that you or I wish to be forgotten or ignored!   Been there done that!!  Yikes it hurts!  Though He is devine, He was once a man, and the hurt is real for Him as it is for us!!

Consider this:   Why is it; everything connected to God is Beautiful, yet not enjoyed for its truth?   Chistmas, Easter, and Holloween, are Holy Days!   Yet, the world,(Satan) is empowed and deems to deminish Christ through fun!   Jesus is the Joy of the ‘spirit’ in body and soul.   Whereas, Satan, is only in  it for himself.

There is a ‘battle’ between good and evil.   We must choose whom we will serve.   If we choose to serve ourselves, we choose Evil!  The Devil!!   If we choose to serve good, God, we are His and His is who we wish to be, through our actions and our thoughts.   This is why Prayer is essential!   It is communion with God and releases the evil designs Satan wishes to impose on us.   Why?   The Soul is the crown!!   The Soul is from God!   Satan wants what is Gods!   God made the earth and Satan wants the earth!  God made me and Satan wants me!  God made us all and Satan wants all !   Make no mistake about it, Satan is not love.  Satan is Evil and He has his advocates, demons to possess the soul.   Here again the soul, belonging to God is satans desire.  

MANS SIN THROUGH ADAM AND MANS GRACE AND LIFE THROUGH CHRIST:  ROMANS CHAPTER 5 VERSES17-19

17) ” If death began its reign through one man because of his offense, much more shall those who recieve the overflowing grace and gift of justice live and reign through one man, Jesus Christ.   18) To sum up, then: just as a single offense brought condemnation to all men, a single righteous act brought all men acquittal and life. 19)Just as through one mans disobediance all became sinners, so through one mans obedience all shall become just.”

So what is sin?   How does one explain sin.   Sin is a conscious desire to elevate ourselves above God.   This occurs when we desire our will rather than Gods will.

Where to begin?

In the desire to follow Christ and live according to the desire of Our Heavenly Father we must choose to apply the Ten Commandments to our mind and our hearts.  This is the beginning.  After accepting and applying the Commandments a transfiguration of character will emerge.  Healing and restoration of  the spirit will bring forth joy.   The knowledge of the teachings of God and His desire for oneself is the beginning.    The Son of God, Jesus Christ came, and lived out the teachings for us.  He, Jesus, will teach each of us when we call upon His Holy name.   Accepting Jesus Christ into the heart is the living experience of the love if God.  Ask and you will recieve the desire of your heart, seek and you will find the treasure of heaven, knock and the door will open and the joy that surpasses all understanding will fill your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.  You may reference Chaptr 17 verses 1-8 in the Book of John.
