This morning Pastor Mark asked, "Why do we celebrate Easter?" I answered to myself, "Because Jesus died on the cross for our sins." Pastor Mark answered, "Because Jesus rose from the dead." There's a very big difference there.

Everyone dies. I will, and so will you. But we will not resurrect. Jesus did. Easter is not about a man hanging on a cross: it's about an empty tomb.

Jesus died to save us from our sins, but he rose in victory over Satan, sin, and death. It's the one holiday that I celebrate, because if there is one thing that deserves a special day dedicated to celebrating it, it's te resurrection on the Christ.
