Happy Easter?

Chocolates!

Nearly every holiday in the calendar is marked by chocolates of some description and Easter seems to be the height with the empty egg? It is no wonder that we have a diabetes crises with over weight and with many other inter related illnesses?

But the real message of this season has to do with the death of Jesus a perfect sinless man and His rising on the third day from the grave!

Why do we need Jesus in our lives and why do we need to be saved? Most people believe that they have some good in them and if they do the odd bit of kindness this is enough to make credit with God?

But it does not work like that and death is not the end, but rather the beginning of an Eternity in Hell with Satan or in Heaven with God! The decision has to be made here and now, we need to seek Him, confess and repent of our failures and find His forgiveness, believing by faith that He Jesus has taken our place on the cross and has risen or resurrected from the dead!

Luke 22:20,   John 3:3,   14-21,   Isaiah 1:18-19,   53:12,    1 Peter 3:18.

Issues?

Our lives!

Life is mostly about issues of all sorts and kinds, from the first moment we can understand our surroundings to the last moment before we enter Eternity our lives will be filled with the issues of choices to make or not?

We will find many causes, we will be upset and frustrated by many things! We will misunderstand others and misunderstood by the same and we will have influence because no matter who we are we all have a say in the society that we live or exist in?

Jesus knew all about human issues, with religion, with hypocrisy, with evil and with people who wanted to believe, but lacked the faith! But those who persisted and asked Him for help, were richly blessed!

Today, now is your opportunity to seek God, to knock and the door of your heart will be opened and changed forever?
