As Christians all over the world celebrate Easter, it is important to understand the significance of this season.
Easter to the Christian faith is the most important because it validates Jesus as the son of God, and also proves His victory over sin and death.
Furthermore, it signifies the new covenant between God and humanity. After the fall of the first Adam there was a rift in the relationship between God and His creature(man), it took the shedding of blood of the only begotten son of God (Jesus) to restore back the relationship between God and man.
There are three major lessons from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ:
- It is a proof of God’s love for man.
- It is a demonstration of the redemptive power of Jesus as Christ.
- It is a proof of Jesus’ power over sin and death.
As we celebrate this Holy Week, may the purpose of redemption be realistic in our lives.
Happy Resurrection Day!
