An Easter with Jesus
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
As Easter approaches, may we all remember our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who, being God, was sent to earth in human form being born of a virgin. He came to spread the Good news. To set captives free. To restore health to the afflicted, to win souls to the kingdom and to help establish the first church's foundations. He more importantly came, and this you should all remember, to pay for my sins and your sins on the cross. He was born to die. His birth was foretold and his crucifiction was prophecied. The blood he shed on Calvary's cross paid for our transgressions. He was beaten and wounded for my mistakes and yours and by the shedding of his blood we are healed.
This easter take time to reflect on the true meaning of the celebrations, away from a fictitious rabbit and all the chocolate easter eggs. Take time for the man who sacrificed his life for you out of love this easter. He did so, so that you won't have to spend eternity in hell. He did so, so that one day you could spend eternity with him in his home way up in paradise.
Friend, the time is now, the door is still open and the master still calls you to himself, while you hear his voice, do not harden your heart. Jesus longs to have a personal relationship with you. Don't leave it for too late, for one day the door will close and his voice will be heard no more.
If you would like to receive Jesus as your personal saviour, you can do it right now. You don't need to be in church to do it, you don't need any special words, just open your heart to the Lord and admit your sinful ways to him. Confess that you have been going the wrong way but are turning from them and are making the decision to follow Jesus. Ask him to come into your heart and tell him that you are making him the lord of your life.
Here is a prayer guide to help you in case you need assistance:
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
If you have just praid this prayer, let me be the first to welcome you into the family of God. Get into a good Bible based church, read the bible daily and pray. The christian walk is fun and exciting. Put God first place in your life and he will take you places you've never even dreamed of.
'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
