Great evening eh? Mine is going great (I don't think you can tell by how I started the post lol) I hope yours is going great as well!
Have you ever sat down to think about what you mean to God? Have you thought for a second that you are exactly the way you are because God made you that way ( I mean who you are on the inside, the inside only you and God know about, the inner good in you that you mask so often!). Do you know He created each and everyone one of us for a good cause? Did you know we are not only His projects we are His handiwork? You are so much closer to His heart than you can ever imagine!
Prayer of the Week: This week pray that you recognize you are crafted by creator of the universe. This week I pray that you understand that God enjoys the little things as much as the big things about you. This week recognize that He cares so much more about you that you could ever imagine! This week I pray you see your self as the master piece He has made you to be! You are beautiful! Also, don't ever underestimate your self He has brought you here for a great purpose in Christ Jesus!

EASTER AND THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteDid the first century church of Christ designate one day a year to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and call it Easter? The short answer is no!
I do not know of one verse of Scripture that instructs Christians to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on one certain day nor any days.
Do I believe it is wrong to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ? No, I do not, however, Christians are not commanded to celebrate His resurrection.
FROM WHERE DID THE WORD EASTER ORIGINATE?
Easter was derived from the name of a pagan goddess.
Is the word Easter in the Bible? Yes, but it is found in very few translations.
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.(KJV)
Acts 12:4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people.(NASB)
The word Easter or Passover was not given as an instruction to Christians as a celebration.
In Acts 12:4 Easter or Passover was used to denote a time in history, not to legitimized them as a Christian celebration.
It makes no difference which word is use, Easter or Passover, the message of Acts 12:4 remains the same; a time in history.
Celebrate the resurrection Jesus Christ at will, it is not a sin. Remember that the apostles nor the first century church of Christ did not designated one day a year as Easter to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
