We
always understand that Easter is one out of the 3 significant events in the
Life of Jesus (His Birth, Death and Resurrection). At Easter we remember the
last week of Jesus' life, or 'Holy Week'. This signals the end of Lent, in the
Christian calendar.
The amazing grace. What’s so amazing about this
grace at Easter, what’s so interesting, what so illuminating about this grace.
After all, life is just full of pleasure hm. Amazing as it is the “Amazing
grace” brought a solution to eternal condemnation. It brought hope of everlasting
life and glory. Isn’t it amazing that after the pressures of life instead of
the pleasure that many think about its all about the pleasure of eternity. “They shouted 'Hosanna' which means 'Save us now'.
A
very important event happened a Sunday before the Easter Sunday. The festival
of the Passover. Many people gathered on the streets to catch a glimpse of the
savoir the king of the Jews. Some other people have their eyes set on looking
for any slight advantage to see a fault in Jesus. Though they tried the found
non. For all who believed that Jesus was the Son of God, it was a very
significant time of joy. For the world has found its savior and it was about to
be ‘Finished’. The authorities were extremely suspicious of his teachings and
claims. You know there is this thing about Jesus, many people gathered to see
Jesus as he rode into the city on the back of a donkey.
In
our dear society today people remember Palm Sunday by decorating churches
with palm branches, and other shows or dramatic acting’s portraying the death
of Christ on the cross. But then, it’s not all about the palm tree, or the
decorations and the remembrance it’s much more than that. Some people in the
congregation understood “they shouted Hosanna” (save us now).
You know we all have different perspectives of
the reason for our existence but actually the reason for your existence can
only be known by your creator. You know Easter is the celebration of God’s
amazing grace to mankind. For God so love the world that He gave His only son.
Despite the horrible beginnings of man, God still loved.. By His grace we were saved
and redeemed by His blood. Like ship we have all gone astray. When Jesus was on
the cross he stated “it is finished”. That was when the long gone relationship
between man and God was restored. You know God’s amazing grace have saved man
from being destroyed. That very burden carried by man for so long. That huge
sacrifice who can make, that huge love that nothing can compensate. God showed
a love that has no limit. Despite we have spat on Him, call Him names, tear
down His garment, He did not loss site of His mission. His mission was without
omission. This life really has nothing to offer but God offered a life that
made living worth it; a life in Christ. So we live no longer by the pattern of
this world. We were once in darkness but God through Jesus restored us to the
light. That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
We
were once lost but know we are found, once was blind but no we see..Jesus is
the ultimate. He did not allow the distractions around him, He suffered and
died…
The symbolism of Grace 
A sign was placed above Jesus' cross which read 'The King of
the Jews'. When Jesus conquered the cross, He was not only the king of the Jew,
but the savior of the world. our shame he took, our debts he bore, our pains He
suffered. It’s a great privilege to know that this very Jesus gave us hope for
a new beginning and a new life. Jesus is not only the King of the Jew but the
king of All. That only through Him we can live, through Him we can breath,
there’s no one like Him. He is the king of Life, the king of victory, King of
salvation. Jesus has become the symbol that no one can cross to the other side
of life eternal except through Him. “I am the way the truth and the life no one
can come to the father except through me. Jesus experienced a very slow and agonizing
death. Watch out one amazing thing that happened in the event of Jesus
crucifixion. One of the prisoners at Jesus left looked up and acknowledged he
is a sinner. Immediately he new that a heart came and the grace about to come,
he said Jesus remember me in paradise. Jesus said you will be with me in
paradise. Only if we acknowledge, can we gain that new life that is in Christ. The
life of peace and fulfillment.

Jesus had indeed risen from the dead.
Jesus suffered
and died on the Cross, His body being put to death, and His spirit died when He
was made sin. But His spirit was made alive and He yielded it to the Father.
God's amazing grace and mercy now obligates us to love and to forgive as Christ did. This is a time of refreshment of friendships and rejuvenation of the mind to the extend of making people around you understand the unconditional love that Christ Jesus showed on the cross. A replicate must occur to show that we are truly bore by His love, grace and mercy.

Do you
recognize Jesus Christ as your King and Lord?
The
mercy God showed is to all mankind. We can now walk into Gods present through
His son Jesus Christ. You know you have a choice to chose eternal life or
eternal condemnation. After life on earth there is only two places one can
be…Hell or Heaven. Christ have given us the sure way to salvation and to life
everlasting. Chose life because God loves you and me. May the peace and joy of
this very purpose of Christ death and resurrection reign in your life.
Jesus
the corner stone, who bore my sins,
Born
through man,
Suffered
by the hand of man,
Spat
in whole by man,
No
hand can harm, no heart can calm,
The
spring of life, the living spring,
A road
as tight, He endured for man,
The
shame He took, on the cross today,
And
took our heavy sins away,
In the
tomb down He lay,
Between
the times, he’s defeat hurray,
Death
he strains, life he reigns.
The
hope and reconciliation for all
Plugged
our eyes upon Him to gaze,
So He
died to save,
No one
says yes when no he says,
His
life as a carpenter never stopped His mission,
His
light to the world however brought no omission,
He
died on the cross today, for our sins he lay,
He has
risen again, to raise those who lay astray.
Jesus
is the reason for the season, celebrate!!!!

Let the true purpose of his celebration be
celebrated….
