Happy Easter Day!
The cross placed at the center of the main stage in church
This short entry is specially dedicated for this special day and the special protagonist. For those who do not know what I'm talking about, today is the Easter Day in Christianity, a day to commemorate Jesus Christ's resurrection after His death by cruel crucification.
To better explain this important day in Christianity, let us go back 3 days before the Easter Day - the Good Friday, during the first century AD. On this day, Jesus Christ died on the cross for humankind after he was betrayed by Judas into the hands of the corrupted Jewish religious leaders. He was tried, humiliated, tortured and sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate under the pressure of the influential Jews for no reason, or just one reason - evil just simply can't tolerate with goodness.
The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
is an essential belief or doctrine in Christianity such
that it is an actual and non-fiction event in history. Jesus Christ is believed to be the Son of God who was born of a virgin lady called Mary, to save us, the fallen humans. All Jesus had done in his life was to honor the God his father by teaching and saving the lives of people whom he ever met.
He lived a completely blameless, innocent and humble life and yet in the end, he was accused and murdered with one of the cruelest punishment ever existed.
Why? It is through what Jesus has done that our sin can be washed away, so that we can then face God who is the God of absolute justice. When He could have chose not to do so, Jesus Christ chose to undergo the suffering to bear all the evils we have done and become the atonement of our sins, to provide the humans with salvation and reconciliation with God.
In fact, has anyone ever been able to stop him/herself from having sinful thought even for one short day in our lives? Have you ever walked past a needy person when you could have stopped a little while for the poor fella, complain heedlessly and endlessly without realizing that at least we have the privilege complain, be envious of other people's successes whether in studies, work or life, be tempted by lustful imageries that you bear sinful thoughts, or break out on people whom you actually love just because you do not have enough patience at one instance? Is our world getting better in time, when the number of guns, bombs, crimes, briberies, pollution and immorality just grow greater and greater? When or where is the breaking point?
I wish that I can write more but my shallow brain is running out of words and my weak body is yelling me to go to bed. Have a good Easter and grateful life my friends. Thank you for reading, sorry if I have ever hurt anyone in anyway. Here are some encouraging and meaningful scriptures which I hope are helpful.
2 Corinthians 13:9
We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection.
We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection.
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
