Easter and snow

The two just don't seem to go together very well. I always picture Easter as a time when it starts getting warmer out. I guess that is not the case this year. Instead, the ground is covered with snow and its cold. Oh well, that really doesn't change the wonder of what Easter is all about. I am not talking about Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs (those are fun), but this holiday is really about Jesus. Jesus' death paid the penalty for our sins. He took our sin and died the death that we should of died to save us. However, if Christ just died and never rose again, we would not be talking about him today. The best part about Jesus is that he conquered death and He lives today. We serve a God who lives today and that is what we are celebrating...He's ALIVE! So make sure that is the focus of you Easter this year and every year. More importantly, make sure that is the focus of every day of your life, not just Easter. Have a great Easter...and remember, no edge tomorrow morning. Go to the main service to celebrate with your families!
