He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed!

Today is the most important celebration for all of the world. For three days over two centuries ago Christ was crucified on the cross for the sins of all mankind. But death had no hold on Him! He suffered and conquered the fires of hell and on the third day he rose again from the grave alive and well. He paid for and took away all of our sins. He walked on the earth for forty days after arising from the dead teaching the apostles about how we should live. He then rose into heaven to return again some day. He taught us that to have eternal life with him it is simple. Place your faith in Jesus and confess your sins. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. God bless you, chris

Symbolism

This while waiting for Jay and Annika to get ready for church I photographed some Calla Lilies on a white background and then added a texture over it. Calla Lilies are often used as symbols of rebirth and resurrection. In this case the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Today is Easter. Easter is the biggest day of celebration for Christians all over the world. They are celebrating the resurrection of Christ from the dead three days after his crucifiction on the cross three days before. Christians celebrate because Christ died on the cross as payment on the cross for all of their sins. According to the bible NIV John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God bless,
