I AM REMINDED OF MANY EASTER SUNDAYS WHEN WE WOULD RISE UP EARLY FOR SUNDAY SERVICE WHICH WAS KNOWN AS SUNRISE SERVICE! WE WERE EXCITED AS KIDS TO WEAR OUR NEW CLOTHES AND SHOES.THERE WAS ALWAYS A CONTEST TO SEE WHO WOULD HAVE THE PRETTIEST DRESS THAT SUNDAY! OH I REMEMBER... WAKING UP TO A HOT BREAKFAST AND ALL THE EASTER EGGS AND BASKET FULL OF CANDY AND THAT CHOCOLATE BUNNY!! MY FAVORITE WAS THE GOLD BRICKS!! I ALSO RECAL GOING TO CHURCH THE WEEK BEFORE AND ON THAT GOOD FRIDAY WE WOULD HAVE 12:00 NOON SERVICE WHERE WE WERE REMINDED OF THE SACRIFICE THAT JESUS HAD MADE FOR ALL OF US ON CALVARY MORE THAN 200 YEARS AGO!! WE WOULD GO TO EACH PICTURE THAT LED UP TO HIS DEATH AND LEARN THE MEANING BEHIND ALL THE STAGES THAT LED UP TO JESUS HANGING AND DYING ON THE CROSS..
THEN WE WENT INTO THE BIBLE WHERE WE READ AND DISCUSSED THE DAY THAT HE AROSE FROM THE DEAD..KNOWN TO US TODAY AS THE RESSURECTION. I THINK BACK TO THE MOVIE" PASSION OF CHRIST" THOUGH IT WAS CRITICIZED AND VIEWED AS GRUESOME I WOULD SAY THAT IT DEPICTED A REAL PICTURE FROM WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE..
SO REMEMBER THAT JESUS WAS PUNISHED AND SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR OUR SINS!!
OH I REMEMBER!! DO YOU?
