Probably
one of the strangest ironies in the American
Church today is how every single year, we
readily celebrate Resurrection Day, the time
when Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose
again from the grave to forgive us of all our
sins, but when we do, we neither call it
Resurrection Day nor celebrate it for what
it’s intended to be. Rather, we call it Easter
and act like it has nothing to do with Jesus
Christ dying on the cross for the sins of
humanity, but rather it’s about us getting a
big ol’ bag of candy from some mythical egg
laying bunny. That’s not only strange and
detrimental to us, but I’d say God’s not too
pleased with it. Therefore, this study, The True
Meaning of Resurrection Day, shows us how this
annual Christian holiday is supposed to remind
us of the wonderful truth that because Jesus
rose again from the grave, there’s Forgiveness
for the Fractured Soul, Healing for the
Brokenhearted, and Hope for a Hopeless World.
This is the message our world so desperately
needs to hear. Because our Redeemer lives, all
God’s children will make it across the finish
line called heaven. That’s the True Meaning of
Resurrection Day!
