Perspective

Love this outlook on Easter and what it really is. i know I am behind on this but I just saw it and had to share.

"So between ages 0-30, I celebrated Easter the fun way: with bunnies, baskets, and expensive clothes. I mean, what better way to say “Jesus reigns” than dressing my preschooler in a $45 outfit to show him off in the church lobby? (You’re welcome, Jesus. Be blessed.)
Jesus is a redeemer, a restorer in every way. His day on the cross might have looked like a colossal failure, but it was his finest moment. He ushered in a kingdom where the least will be the greatest and the last will be first, where the poor will be comforted and the meek will inherit the earth. Jesus brought together the homeless with the privileged and said, “You’re all poor, and you’re all beautiful.” The cross leveled the playing field, and no earthly distinction is valid anymore. There is a new “us” – a ruined people rescued by the Passover Lamb who adopted us into his family and transformed us into saints. It is the most epic miracle in history.This is why we celebrate. May we never become so enamored by the substitutions of this world that we forget."

Amen
