Some call tomorrow Easter, others disdaining the term as it originates from pagan beliefs, call it Resurrection Day. For me, it's not what you call it, but what it means to me a disciple of Christ.
It is the day, that Christ has triumphed over sin and death. We are no longer under the curse of sin, or as the Apostle Paul said the wages of sin which is death. We are promised life eternal with God. Jesus said that He Himself is the Resurrection, not that he brings it to you, but that He IS it. (John 11:25-26) That whoever believes in Him will have life. Think on this for a moment, if God, who created Adam from the dust, could do so, can he not, re-create us after we have passed on? For as the scripture says, with God nothing is impossible. (See Matthew 19:25-26)
Let us therefore, and without shame, rejoice in this day. For the promise given to us at the birth of Christ Jesus is fulfilled in that the work is now completed. We are redeemed!
