Easter

The Easter story, much like the Christmas story, can easily seem old and cliche. If you grew up in the church like me, you've heard it since childhood. Jesus was born, He lived, He died on a cross to save us, and three days later He rose from the dead.

But when you stop to think about the impact of those words...the story holds new meaning every time. Because all of that was done for me. His suffering, His excruciating death, the despair of His loved ones - that was for me. The triumph of His resurrection, the joy of knowing He is alive and victorious even over death - that was for me. The forgiveness accomplished by those acts is daily for me.

Today, take time to ponder on what the Easter story means to you.
