He Rose To Set You Free
Our freedom from the penalty of death that we rightfully deserve for our sinful human nature is taken lightly by most people on earth. Humanity has only one true hero, and His name is Jesus Christ.
As entertaining as we can make Easter with fancy dress and colored eggs, the truth about this day has nothing to do with being entertained, it’s about being set free. Everything we are able to see, by all the means that we have available to us, is a result of the one who willingly gave His life for all of mankind.
As the world frolics and plays and shows no interest at all for this fact, the freedom that is so taken for granted winds down to an appointed day of end. The day when the real hero of all of mankind returns to gather those who have accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
Once a year this holiday has notice for what was done, but fewer and fewer are the number of people who acknowledge it for what it truly is. Easter is all about the risen Lord who overcame death and made a way for all of mankind to re-connect with the Holy God who created them.
The issue is this; the Creator of all of mankind is Holy, and as a Holy God, he cannot look upon sin in any form. Mankind, since Adam and Eve bit from the tree of good and evil, have had a nature that is sinful. God so loved His creation mankind, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus) as the payment for the penalty of sin, which is death. Not just death as flesh must return to where it was created, but death as in eternal separation of a spirit from the Creator who gave it a soul.
God is Spirit, and God is Holy, and God is Light. Evil is darkness, evil is sin, and evil cannot dwell in the same place as holiness. Evil cannot even comprehend holiness that is why the world (being filled with darkness because the evil one rules in the world) has turned Easter into a form of entertainment rather than a time of worship.
The evil one, call him whatever you want, they all mean the same thing, has accomplished the greatest deception in all of human history. And when I tell you what it is, the work of the evil one will come to the surface in you and you will be completely unable to grasp it as the truth. But it will remain the truth none the less.
Life is not found here in the world. Yes, things are alive here, but life itself, is not found here. Life itself is unseen, life is eternal, life is holy, life is divine, and life is not a reward given by evil or man or anyone else. Life is in God alone. And in Him is the only way to have it. And being in Christ Jesus is the only way mankind can be in God. The world has done an amazing job of convincing mankind that a long life on earth means something, when in fact, it is completely meaningless. Life begins for all those who are in Christ Jesus when He comes and gives it to them. Not a moment sooner. And their having life also comes with an appropriate form of being, a glorious one, not of flesh but of light.
The evil that has grown here in the world is setting up for its final stand. These times we are in are not going to get any better; in fact, they are going to get much worst. All of this information has been available to those who are willing to admit the truth starting with their own sinful nature, and becoming humble and confessing this truth as you ask God through His Son Jesus for forgiveness. That is the process; it cannot be amended or altered. If you want it there it is, if you deny that you have a sinful nature you are simply a liar and your punishment will fit your lie.
In the Word of God there are instructions for mankind before leaving, to coin a phrase; Basis Instructions Before Leaving Earth (Bible). These instructions have been preserved by God to allow all of His beloved creation a good chance of overcoming the deception that the evil one has managed to rule over them with. However, the book itself has no power. It must be taken in faith and then taken seriously. The forgiveness of sin is not a license to continue committing sin.
Jesus is alive in the life of God, and He left the world to prepare a place for all of those who have chosen to follow Him. He did not leave us as orphans though, He left us with a Helper, and His name is the Holy Spirit. Yes! He is Holy! Get the whole Holy part because it is vitally important. Life Is Holy! If you are to live In Life you must be Holy! That means changing your whole concept of acceptable behavior. And for that, trust me, you will use and be quite thankful for the Holy Spirit. Only He can take your willing humble soul and weak flesh and turn it into what is necessary for you to be In Christ Jesus and acceptable to God the Father.
The appointed time is indeed at hand, and no one knows when their last day here will be. So take the Gift that God is offering you while you can. And put your whole mind, heart, soul and spirit into it. Because if you really want Life; you are going to have a lot of work ahead of you. And your own family and friends may not want to follow you on this journey. But when you arrive in Life, you will know that you made the right decision.
