Happy Easter!

Sunday is Easter, so I thought we'd take a break from the book of Genesis and talk about Easter. It's fun to think about bunnies and to get an Easter basket full of goodies on Easter, but let me tell you the real meaning of Easter.

The story of Easter can be found in the book of Matthew 26:20through Matthew 28:20. Remember we talked about how Adam and Eve had to leave the wonderful Garden of Eden because they sinned. Then the last two weeks, we talked about God's wonderful plan and how Jesus took our punishment so that we could live forever with Him. Well Easter is the finishing touch of God's great plan. Jesus died on Good Friday, then on Easter Sunday, He rose from the dead!

You may be wondering "what does that have to do with me?" The answer is everything! Easter is a time for more celebration than Christmas! When Jesus was born on Christmas, it was just the beginning of God's plan. When Jesus rose from the grave on Easter, God's plan to allow us into heaven was complete.

Jesus was the first to rise from the dead and lead the way to heaven so that we could too. Jesus died for our sins so that we could be forgiven, But if He didn't rise we would stay dead forever. We would have no way of getting into heaven.

Let's say that you went to the animal shelter and picked out a dog. Your dad paid for the shots and license. Now the dog was yours. You brought the dog home and while you were still in the driveway, the dog jumped out of the car and ran up to the front door of the house. He couldn't open the door by himself and get into his new home. You had to open the door first and let him in.


Next week we are going to climb aboard Noah's ark! Genesis chapter 6 Happy Easter!

  4. Well I had to come check out the site of someone in which I've never met yet and I must say I love it. I've always wanted to be a cartoonist, ever since I used to doodle like crazy on my papers in school. I loved this story and your illustrations to go with it. I also checked out your other site and it's very cool.
    So Jack or John? LOL It's very nice to meet you and I'll be back. *said in best Arnold voice*
    Have a blessed Easter.

  7. Rupanya kecuali di Yogyakarta kamu dapat nikmati gudeg di solo. Dan gudeg yang populer di solo ini populer dengan rasanya yang unik. https://bumbu-dapur.net/ Salah satunya yang yang populer yakni gudegnya Bu Kasno. Gudeg pada tempat ini cuman membuka pada malam hari walau bagaimanapun bila kamu pertama kalinya kesini kamu akan menyaksikan orang dengan antrean panjang agar bisa menikmatinya.

    Agar bisa nikmati kulineran yang ini, kamu dapat tiba ke alamtanya yang berada di Jl. Monginsidi.
