Easter Dress
I have grown up in church and Easter is always on of the Sundays where church is packed. I do not mind it, because Easter should be celebrated more than any other Christian Holiday. Every religious leader can be born, but only one has been resurrected. Now I do not take away from the virgin birth because that is a key element in Christian belief but the resurection is so much more because that is where we have hope over the ruler of this world is defeated.
My problem is this, we get new outfits for Easter for many reasons. One because it represents new life. Two because it is time to wear spring colors. The thing I want to talk about is how we get new outfits come to church but yet our inner being is still unrighteousness.
Every Sunday is suppposed to represent Jesus' resurrection not once a year. People come once a year give God a tip and think they are great. If people are truly blood bought they would actually struggle with the fact that THEY were the ones who put JESUS on the CROSS. Due to that shedding of blood I did not get a easter outfit to wear once but I get a new outfit, a rob of righteousness. How can people just sit by thinking a bunny is the reason but the actual resurrection that gives us hope 1 Cor. 15.
My prayer is that we as believers will not cover our spiritual struggles with new Easter Clothing when nothing is hidden from our Heavenly Father. May we pursue after the bloody, painful, ugly, cross, so we can embrase our robe of righteousness so that the lost world will desire Jesus.
Happy Resurrection Sunday!!!
