Resurrection Celebration AKA Easter

Recently I read that Halloween is the most profitable holiday next to Christmas with no other holidays even coming close. Why is this? More and more I see little ones dressed in the costumes of nightmares or little girls dressed very seductively or terrifying slasher movies. It is interesting what a culture chooses to value and what is chooses to ignore.
Tomorrow is the day set aside to remember the Resurrection of our Lord. The day that took all of mankind, who was separated from God by sin, and gave them a way to be reunited to Him. A miracle occurred. Death was conquered. A path was made to God. Hope was restored to a lost world. There is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. There should be no greater celebration than this day. The day that
"God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".
There is no greater love than a man should lay down his life for another. Do you know this love? It can be yours. Our hope does not come from a crucified Savior but from an empty tomb.

Death is conquered. Sin is forgiven. Hope is restored if you believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our joy comes because He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Celebrate with me!
