The Meaning of Easter

From Nathaniel’s Hope, a program called Buddy Break to give parents of special needs kids three hours off about once a month run locally by First Church, a Methodist Congregation:

Jesus is ALIVE!

Today we celebrate because Jesus Lives!  

Why is this a big deal?

On what we know as Good Friday,  God sacrificed his most precious gift, His son, Jesus. When He was nailed to the cross, Jesus took our sin with Him and fought the battle for us. Though He sacrificed His life for us, the real victory came when He beat death and rose from the dead, on what we know as Easter morning! He won the battle over sin, so we would not have to die, but could live forever.  

This is what we celebrate on Easter!  Because HE LIVES!  HOPE LIVES!

But why did He do this? Because He loves us and wants us to be with Him forever.

He gives us the gift of eternal life, by offering us forgiveness of our sins.  Jesus died so we could live, and live with hope. But we must choose.

So today, we do not need to fear death.  We have the hope of eternal life in heaven.

In the midst of our suffering, we don’t have to despair. We hang on to Hope. 

The Hope represented by Easter is the very Hope that we at Nathaniel’s Hope share with you. 

So no matter what you are facing today, remember HOPE LIVES!

Happy Easter!

Love from your friends at Nathaniel’s Hope 🙂
