Easter

I don't know what it is about Easter, but I can't stay asleep past 6:30 am. Every Easter I wake up and that is the end of that. This morning was no different. I woke up and I was ready for the day (if you ask my wife you know this is not normal). There are a few things that bug me about Easter (like wearing a tie), but this day just seems different to me.

Jesus brought us back into relationship with the Father today. Sometimes it is hard to imagine the pain that Jesus went through on the cross, but that pain just seems trivial when I think of the glory of God that is possible to know because of His resurrection. This is THE event that makes us Christians, that we are crazy enough to believe that Jesus rose from the dead (which, by the way, He did). Maybe we are not crazy, but instead we have the revelation of the events that happened two thousand years ago. I don't believe that makes me crazy, certifiable maybe, but I KNOW that Jesus has taken away the blemish of sin through His resurrection.

What an amazing day this is!
