It’s a reality that demonstrates truths about the kind of God we serve. Jesus Himself said that He shows us what the Father is like (Jn. 14:9).

Easter is . . . a demonstration of God’s love and grace.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8)

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 6:23)

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. (Rom. 8:11)

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Cor. 15:19-20) But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. (1 Cor. 15:23-24)

Praise God for Easter!
