I believe every Christian should watch the film, “The Passion of the Christ.” I don’t believe anything has even come close to visually representing Christ’s sorrow, torture, death, and resurrection.

Mark and I watched the film last night. I wanted to be reminded (once again) of what Jesus did for me, and how little I give him in return. I’m ashamed of the time I’ve spent on Easter weekend (buying gifts and candy), rather than spending time with Jesus.

I love the Easter Bunny, chocolate bunnies, and hiding eggs for the children. But I think we’ve lost sight of what this weekend is all about – Christ’s death and resurrection. Our sins and forgiveness. Death and Life.

I’m thankful for what Christ did for me. He took my sins upon himself, and suffered a horrible death on my behalf. He died so that the Holy Spirit could come and be my comforter. He rose on the third day so that I could live for eternity.

To the people who say God doesn’t exist, God doesn’t care, or God doesn’t love us, I say— read John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

This promise is one I hold onto with both hands. I know many of you already have a personal relationship with Jesus, but I ask that you join your prayers with mine during tomorrow’s Resurrection Sunday for all those who don’t.

Love you all!
