We all want to get out of here, but we look around and realize, where do we go? it's all the same everywhere - it's all corrupt.
This is what our whole state is and has been from the moment we are born. We look back in time and say, maybe I belonged in the past. Or we look to the future and say, no I think the future will be better and thus we fervently celebrate each passing new year as if it will bring something different, something better.
What we have failed to realize is that that "better" thing is and only can be Jesus Christ. The reason we don't feel fulfilled or that we belong or that we are complete is because we are not. Until we get born again. Our eyes suddenly open to the real truth - not what the world gives, but the truth in God's Word. And we realize that all along we just needed the Savior. Now we also realize that we never belonged here because this is not our ultimate home, we are just passing through. Our life here is but a vapor!
I call this holiday Resurrection Sunday, not Easter. Because that is what it represents to me. Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, he thus won over death for us so that we may also partake of the Holy Spirit and attain eternal life.
Happy Resurrection Sunday Anons! Love and blessings to you all - more than you can ask or think to ask, that is what God promises!!
