Easter

It seems appropriate during Easter to talk about Jesus, and that he rose again. I've been going over Allen Hood's message on the resurrection (notes can be found at www.ihop.org). Remembering the importance of the resurrection to our Christian Theology. If Jesus didn't rise again and conquer death once and for all then what hope to we have? The Good News is that there was an empty tomb! Jesus fulfilled his prophecy concerning himself and we are going to live forever with him, we no longer have to fear death because Jesus is ALIVE!!

I've been outlining Acts and so I've been looking at the messages of the Apostles, much of which concerns that Jesus, who was crucified is alive! He is the firstborn from the dead. No one has ever raised themselves from the dead! So we die with Christ and we are raised with him. This is such a mystery and something I want to spend a decent amount of time studying and meditating over!

So happy easter everyone!!
Note to New Zealanders - it was 2 degrees today and the weirdest thing, it didn't feel that cold!
