Happy Easter Sunday Everyone ! Christ is Risen !!!
The Easter story
Almost 2,000 years ago , God sent his son Jesus to live on earth so that we might learn of God's Love for us. Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. We celebrate his birth on Christmas day. Jesus grew up in Nazareth , playing and growing as all children do, he learned to be a carpenter from his Earthly Father Joseph, and helped his Mother Mary in any way he could. During those years , he often talked with the teachers in the church to learn about his Heavenly Father's will for his life on Earth. When he became a man , Jesus knew it was time for him to do his Heavenly Father's Work He traveled about telling grown-ups and little children of God's love for them. Healing the sick and sharing God's Word with all who would listen. Jesus Became very popular and loved. When he rode into Jerusalem to Celebrate the special Jewish holiday of Passover, the crowds greeted him by placing palms in front of him and shouting Hosanna ! Hosanna ! it was a very happy day for Jesus and we celebrate this day on Palm Sunday. But some people were not happy about Jesus becoming so Popular . They wanted to control the people and did not want Jesus to be called King and The Messiah ". Although Jesus knew he had enemies who would harm him, he stayed in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Passover with his closest followers, his Disciples. Serving them bread and wine, he said this do in remembrance of me, For he knew he would soon die. We remember this meal as the last supper and we celebrate it on maundy Thursday. Ever since that night , Christians have remembered Jesus by sharing bread and wine together. After the last supper Jesus went to a garden called Gethsemane to pray , while he was there , one of his Disciples Judas came with a group of soldiers to arrest him. Judas had agreed to tell the soldiers where Jesus was in exchange for a bag of Silver coins. The soldiers took Jesus to the high priest then to Pilate , the governor , who delivered him to be killed. Jesus was beaten by the soldiers . They forced a crown of thorns onto his head, Called him names and made him carry a heavy wooden cross up a big hill called Calvary. There the soldiers nailed Jesus hands and feet to the cross, then stood up the cross, forcing Jesus to hang there. It was a very sad time for all the people who loved Jesus, But even though he was in great pain, Jesus prayed and forgave his enemies. Then he died. Some of the people who loved Jesus took his body and after wrapping it gently in cloth, placed it in a cave like tomb and rolled a big stone in front of the opening. Three days later, they came back to the tomb. imagine how Surprised they were to see the stone rolled away. A messenger of God told the people Jesus was not dead but alive and would live with his Heavenly Father in heaven - he had been Resurrected ! We remember the day Jesus died on Good Fried called good because he died, but because of the sacrifice he made for us. God allowed Jesus to be killed so his Resurrection would be a sign of God's love for us- a way of telling us God will love and forgive us no matter what. We celebrate Jesus' Resurrection on Easter Sunday. As we look at the cross, we are reminded that Jesus died for us so that anyone who believes in him will not die, but will be resurrected , too. We are happy and sing joyfully on Easter because we know Jesus will be with us and love us forever and ever.
