A New Beginning

Did you know that no where in the Bible does it say to "Celebrate" Christmas? Yet every year, more and more humans spend countless hours and dollars creating the perfect holiday.
The Bible does, however, tell us to Celebrate Easter. It just hit me in my 40th year of life that I have never thought much of it. Yea, I said it. I had no idea what Easter "Really" meant.
Do you? It is a time for a new beginning. Christ died and rose from the dead so that we would know he was the one true Son of God. And everything we learned of him was true! He came to save us from ourselves.
Funny isn't it. Save us from ourselves? As humans we tend to self destruct. One day at a time, whether we plan to or not we do. We can choose to follow Christ and make it a spiritual journey filled with hope and love for one another. Or we can turn away and constantly wonder why our lives are so miserable.
Our new beginning starts with death of a Savior. He took your sin with him to his grave. And when he rose from the dead,gave you a chance to be forgiven.
