What EASTER does?
Significance
The Resurrection of Christ celebrates the significance GOD places on you. You are significant because GOD sent HIS only SON to you at Bethlehem. In the 33 years JESUS walked this earth HE lived a life often filled with the same sort of activity, routine, and challenge that we do. During that time HE walked where we walk. HE stood where we stand. HE had relationships just like we do. HE was tempted just like we are, HE suffered just like we do under that temptation [see Hebrews 4]. Then HE died just like we do. This not only illustrates to everyone our significance
Understanding
Easter underscores that because HE lived like HE did — HE UNDERSTANDS what life is really like. Some people mistakenly believe that GOD watches us from a distance and never interferes in the moment by moment parts of life. JESUS crushes that belief. In the New Testament it is crystal clear that GOD is present, close at hand, weeping at funerals, laughing at weddings, caring for anyone who’s hurting, holding open-hearted children, and lifting the loads we carry.
This Easter GT will host some major events to celebrate the Resurrection of JESUS. We do this because HIS LIFE has impacted history and HIS LIFE — still today — gives us strength and hope. Here’s the celebration schedule:
