Paige Bier_April 21_Easter Sunday

Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!

Yesterday, 2014 April 20th, my family and I celebrated the life of Christ. Below I have shared a link to a video called “Because of Him” which shows death is not the end and we can live again with God. This is one of the meanings of Easter Sunday. We have come to celebrate His life and discover all things possible "Because of Him:


 “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground” (Luke 22:44)

Jesus willingly took upon himself our sins and our sorrows. He was willing to pay for all mistakes, all pains, and all imperfections of us on Earth. Jesus took all of our burdens and all of our sins with him on the Cross-when he died for us.

“And they clothed Him with purple, and plaited a crown of thorns, and put it about His head, and began to salute him, hail, king of the Jews!”  (Mark 15:7)

Through the pain and anguish he felt from punishments and beatings, Jesus remained faithful to His Father. His death marked the beginning for all of us on Earth, to show that we have a second chance in eternal life.

“He is not here, for He is risen, as He said” (Matthew 28:6)

The empty tomb in the garden of Jerusalem reminds us that Christ is King. Our savior lived and died for us and lived again when He rose from the dead. Easter Sunday reminds us of the debt that Jesus paid for our sins.


In conclusion, every Easter, we celebrate all that Christ has done for us. We celebrate his life and the life that we will have in eternity. Easter is a day to celebrate Jesus and the day we will live again with God.
