As Easter approaches, I am trying to be more mindful of what it really means this year. It is so easy to get caught up in religious and family traditions and not think about Jesus and all that He did in dying on the cross.. for ME!
In Bible Study last night, one girl mentioned how excited she was to celebrate Easter for the first time. At first I was confused, thinking- how have you never celebrated Easter before? But then I got it...although she has always been aware of the holiday, this is her first Easter as a follower of Christ. This makes all the difference!
Tonight I invited any of the girls in my study who were interested to come over and watch The Passion of the Christ. I saw this movie right when it came out in the theaters, but was thankful for a chance to watch it again.
It is hard to take in what Christ really did....the penalty He paid....the true depth of his sacrifice. I hope that as you go through this week you will take time to stop and think about Jesus, and what He did for YOU (and me too!)
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
