Easter!
March 22, 2008
More than two thousand years ago, a man by the name of Jesus died for me. Died, so that I can live. Yes, so that I can live; so that you can live, so that we can live!
Who was Jesus? In his book ‘Vintage Jesus‘, Pastor Mark Discroll describes Him as a man “…born in a dumpy, rural, hick town… who’s mother was a poor, unwed teenage girl who was mocked for claiming she conceived via the Holy Spirit. He (Jesus) was later adopted by a simple carpenter named Joseph…and around the age of thirty began a public ministry of preaching, healing the sick, feeding the hungry and befriending social misfits such as perverts, drunks and thieves. His three short years of ministry ended tragically when he was put to death for declaring Himself to be God.”
This death is known as the Crucification of Christ and is celebrated by millions of Christians around the world at Easter time.
Below is a video in honor of the Love that sacrificed His life for our sake. It features footage from a reenactment of the crucification of Christ on my visit to the Holy Land Experience a few years ago.
