HE HAS RISEN

Today is Easter, the day of Jesus Christ's Resurrection. As a child, I never understood the true meaning of Easter. I just thought it was holiday where kids got too hunt for easter eggs in the church yard and fight for the best ones. I guess, like most things, I took Easter for granted. I took it as a holiday where you had an basket waiting for you in the living room and a delicious dinner that night. Today is the first time that I have understood the true signifigance of Easter. It is the rising of Jesus Christ. The Lord sent his son, Jesus, to Earth in human form to spread his word, but it ultimately cost him his life. Jesus bled on the cross and died. On this momentous day, Jesus' spirit rose again, and this is what we celebrate. We celebrate his spirit coming and saving us forever. From now own, I will remember, "He bled and then he died and then he rose again for ME."
