What is the meaning of Easter?
While the focus was once on Easter Sunday, now it is on the Easter Bunny. But Easter Sunday is much more than a day of colorful plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies; it is in fact a day that left the world forever changed.
It had been three days since Jesus had received the death penalty by popular vote. His friends and followers were devastated, as they had come to believe that He was not just an ordinary man, but the Son of God. He had performed miracles, healed every disease, and even brought a man back from the dead.
On that third day—the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday—His friends went to His grave, but instead of finding His body, they found an open tomb with no body in it. In fact, what they saw was an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen” (Matthew 28:5, 6).
Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday; now He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. This is the true story of Easter, and this salvation is for you. GOD loves YOU!
MENGAPA KITA BERPANTANG?
Ada dua alasan utama. Pertama, sebagai kurban silih atas dosa-dosa kita. Kita melukai hati Tuhan dan sesama ketika kita
berdosa. Kedua, dan yang paling utama, kita melukai hati Tuhan dan sesama karena kita kurang dapat mengendalikan diri. Ketika
kita tergoda untuk melakukan sesuatu yang jahat (atau tidak melakukan sesuatu yang baik). Kita jatuh dalam pencobaan karena
kita tidak mempunyai kehendak yang kuat untuk melakukan yang baik.
Jika kalian ingin belajar mengendalikan diri, mulailah dari hal-hal yang kecil. Selama beberapa minggu berpantanglah sesuatu
yang kalian sukai. Misalnya berpantang permen, atau berpantang menonton acara TV yang kalian sukai, atau berpantang pergi ke
bioskop.
