The reason for the season......

Every year around Easter, we start to think about what we will dress the kids in this year or what color dress we will buy. The little candy eggs, chocolate bunnies and that annoying grass that gets EVERYWHERE takes center stage and we somehow forget the whole reason we even celebrate.

I heard someone today say that the cross that Jesus carried down the Via Dolorosa weighed almost 200 lbs.. That 200 lbs. equaled the weight of sin for entire world. He gave His life so that we could live in freedom and still there are so many of us that live and walk in condemnation every day. He wants us to be free!

I'm posting this for my friend, she knows who she is :-)




The song simply states the Gospel.

Living he Loved Me
Dying he saved me
Buried He carried my
My sins far away
Rising he justified me
Freed me forever
One day he's coming back Glorious day


One day when heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
That's when Jesus came down to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He.


Then one day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
Then one day they nailed Him to die on the tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my redeemer is He


One Sunday the grave could conceal Him no longer
That day when the stone rolled away from the door
That's when Jesus arose over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, He's our Lord forever more
