Romans 4:25
who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

The Bible tells us that Christ was delivered up for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. You may already know why Jesus died for our sins, but do you know the significance of God raising Him from the dead?
Let me give you an illustration to help you understand the significance of Jesus’ resurrection.

Let’s say that you are living in a foreign country. One day, you happen to break a major rule of the land. You appeal to the king for mercy. He says, “A rule is a rule. I cannot bend the rule for you. What will others say about my integrity? However, if you can find a substitute to take your punishment—three months in jail—I will allow it.”
By God’s grace, you find a willing substitute. He goes to prison on your behalf and you don’t see him for some time. Days, weeks and months pass by.

Now, how or when will you know that your crime has been fully paid for? When will you be able to rest easy regarding your crime? It is when you see your substitute walking free again! When you see him out of prison, you will know that the sentence has been fully served. You will know that you are now justified and no one can bring a charge against you for your old crime. No longer will you be afraid of the king or his guards coming after you because you know that the one who was punished in your place is now walking free.

Beloved, Jesus, your substitute, paid the debt you could not pay. On the cross, He bore the sins of your entire life. God put it all on Jesus and then He punished Jesus for every single one of those sins until He was fully satisfied. And because He was so pleased with what Jesus had done, He raised Him from the dead.

Today, Jesus’ tomb remains empty. He is not there for He has risen! His resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified. You no longer have to be afraid of God judging you for your sins. His justice is on your side today!

Thought For The Day

Jesus’ resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified!

The truth is that those so-called wise and prudent theologians know absolutely nothing about the so-called resurrection simply because it never happened. Easter, or the celebration of the resurrection, is merely a tradition, a tradition that you have been taught from childhood, and coming into maturity you have accepted it because that is what you were taught. That is what you read bout. That is what your parents made you observed every Easter Sunday. Thus, you continued to go along with it and before you knew it, you had carelessly assumed what you now believe without question or proof. Easter is the feast of feasts celebrated in honor of the risen Christ. You have even reached the point where you will defend vigorously and emotionally your belief, a belief that can lead you straight to hell.

It has become human nature to flow with the stream, and to go along with the crowd, to believe and perform like those around you. And, even when you stumble on the truth, you will not believe because like the majority of the people, you stubbornly refuse to believe what you are unwilling to believe. There is an old saying that says:

He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

Happy Easter

So I am Glad.. Extremely happy.. He did this for me. He cleared my doubt. He broke protocols . He stunned us all
He died. Asin died completely
Not for His Crime. Not for something He did but something I did. He set the standard for Love.
Against all odds
He rose.. He is back and this time .
He comes Triumphant.
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
I am a witness and I feel different.
I feel Good
Christ is Risen.

Happy easter nairaland

During the pagan spring festival Ōestre witches were said to shapeshift into Hares and leave presents of eggs for children!

That's why in America, Easter is wayyyy more fun, because they celebrate it fro the real reason. Jesus never died in April, lol. Just like he wasn't born on December 25th.

In the United States Easter is full of egg hunts for chocolate coated eggs yum!

Easter is just another pagan festival that Christians stole!

come and see the real reason ...

MuMu
jesus neither die nor resurrect

jesus neither die nor resurrect

Then what did he do?

What if the original sentence was for life? Forever. Resurrection would mean bringing back home the lamb upon which sins has been transferred. Just thinking though.

this stories are just too dumb..the white men who came up with this sh!t should have come up with something more believable

like the evolution theory I guess

If you know that you are an atheist or other religion please always keep quiet when it come to Christians topic. Well, one day the world will fall on their knees, and all will proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

. You are not a Christian and you want to judge our belief. It is either you choose to be saved or not. You have no moral right to say that. If I preach to you and you refuse the message of salvation I've no right to force you. I wonder how non Christians come here to challenge our way of life and belief.

Interesting argument.

However even the "facts" you stated are likely to be gleaned from things you read. I doubt if all you know today is based on first-hand experiential knowledge.

So you see, you too "believe" certain things based on the "research" that agrees with your worldview.

Yes, I think the deeper issue here is the worldview you've chosen to "believe".

And you are FREE to choose to any worldview. So is everyone else.

You can still respect other people's right to choose their worldview, as long it doesn't impinge on your own freedom. It does NOT mean they are "flowing with the stream".

P.S. Can someone really be "convinced" against his will? Wherein lies the "conviction"?

Only a Fool will say in His heart that there is no God. Keep your opinion to yourself. We don't need it
