Happy Easter 2020! Guess what? Even during a pandemic, we can still celebrate Easter.
I have been feeling a little blue about Easter weekend this year so I decided to google ‘Easter 2020’. I’m not sure what I was looking for. The search results didn’t help my feelings at all, the internet is full of articles about how Easter just can’t be the same this year. No church, no sunrise services, no gatherings with your fellow Christians, no big family dinners etc.
I decided to think about the true reason we celebrate Easter. The meaning of Easter has not changed, even in a pandemic. There is still reason to celebrate Jesus. Jesus died, was put in a tomb and rose from the dead. All for us. What a incredible miracle!!
As the bible shows in Luke 24:1-3, 6a: “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” “He is not here, He is risen!” .
He is Risen!! I can’t imagine the excitement his followers must have felt. It is completly awesome that Jesus died and rose from the dead for us. So much love is shown towards us in His dying for us. So much hope is given to us in His being raised from the dead.
Because He is risen, all believers have eternal life. We will live with Jesus forever. What a wonderful reason to celebrate!
If you began to think about all that we are missing this Easter due to the pandemic, just start remembering the miracle of Easter. We don’t have to miss what really matters.
HAPPY EASTER 2020!! HE IS RISEN!!!
