Easter

A time to rejoice for our savior. A king who came to die for you and I. He bore a burden he did not create or deserve. Our sins created turmoil that the Father could not stand – He chose to Send His son (Our Savior) to heal the broken and the wounded. Then He chose to take Him back! Our failures He would face with grace and anguish. A short time He would be here to try and save the lost. Do not forget His sacrifice and His Pain. For many forget the burden was not just the crucifixion, but the knowledge of such. He knew of the suffering He would endure and cried out to God for help. How much He must have suffered in knowing the day would come. A friend would betray Him and He would be killed for the pleasure of the people. What a Father He had in God, who could not offer relief of His burden, the Cross He had to bear, but a Father who gave Him comfort for His soul in His time of sorrow. Having been born a human child – He knew emotional and physical pain. A burden we all endure. Most are not accustomed to knowing what is coming or how it will affect you, but this is a burden He and I share. Sometimes knowing is scarier than the actual event; the anticipation can overwhelm the soul. Countless nights of prayer and sorrow for relief you know will not come. Though comfort during these times is All we need to suffer with Grace. God never promised us a worry free or non-fearful life – He promised us grace to overcome the burdens we face. We are in the midst of a huge burden, but Nothing can compare to the burden of the Son of God. Remember His sacrifice for your freedoms and God’s grace for each of us through this!
