CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!
Easter – The Most Important Day of the Church Year.
The Most Important Day in the Bible.
The Most Important Day in God’s Story of Everything.
Because at Easter,
Our God took our sins upon Himself,
Was crucified, died, and was buried,
And on the third day – On Easter – He rose again!
CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!
On the third day, Sunday morning, that Easter Sunday so long ago –
Our Lord and Savior rose from the dead,
Declaring victory of sin, death, and the devil,
Promising us forgiveness of sins, salvation, and life everlasting!
Easter is the single most important event in all of history – and His Story!
It is when our God entered human history to save us.
And we celebrate this season in remembrance of what our God has done for us in His death and resurrection.
We celebrate by shouting out:
CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!
But Easter is not a one-and-done celebration.
While it only fills one day on the church calendar,
It is a whole season in the church year.
In fact, we celebrate Easter regularly –
EVERY SUNDAY!
Every Sunday is a mini-Easter,
Where we remember and celebrate our Savior’s death and resurrection,
Where we receive forgiveness of sins, salvation, and life everlasting,
Where we worship our God by shouting out:
CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!
In Christ,
Vicar Boester
