Easter Short Stories
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!
APA PERAN MUSA DAN ELIA KETIKA YESUS DIPERMULIAKAN?
Orang Kristen membagi Kitab Suci menjadi dua bagian: Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru. Para saksi memberikan kesaksian
mereka di pengadilan, jadi kalian dapat mengatakan bahwa Perjanjian Lama adalah serangkaian kesaksian tentang Tuhan oleh
orang-orang yang hidup sebelum Yesus. Perjanjian Baru adalah serangkaian kesaksian oleh orang-orang yang bersaksi tentang
Yesus.
Orang-orang Yahudi hanya mengakui Kitab Perjanjian Lama. Mereka membaginya menjadi tiga bagian: Kitab Hukum (Taurat), Kitab
Para Nabi dan Kitab Tulisan.
Kitab Hukum (Taurat) berisi kesaksian Musa serta orang-orang yang mengenalnya.
Kitab Para Nabi berisi kesaksian para nabi, yaitu baik pria maupun wanita yang berbicara atas nama Tuhan setelah jaman Musa.
Yang paling utama dari para nabi itu ialah Elia. Para nabi yang lain ialah: Samuel, Natan, Amos, Yeremia dan Yehezkiel.
Kitab Tulisan berisi berbagai macam tulisan lain yang tidak cocok dikelompokkan baik ke dalam Kitab Hukum maupun Kitab Para
Nabi. Kitab ini dianggap kalah penting dari kedua kitab pertama. Termasuk didalamnya antara lain adalah "Amsal" dan
"Pengkhotbah".
Penampakan Musa dan Elia ketika Yesus dipermuliakan menjadi semacam tanda persetujuan mereka kepada Yesus. Tuhan Allah
sendiri menyempurnakan kesaksian mereka dengan suatu suara yang berkata dari dalam awan: "Inilah Anak yang Kukasihi,
kepada-Nyalah Aku berkenan, dengarkanlah Dia" (Matius 17:5).
