Easter Post

We're about ten minutes from it officially being Easter Sunday. I love Easter! Jesus rose from the grave on Easter! Maybe you didn't get that but Our Savior BEAT DEATH on Easter! How could I not be excited? This last hour though Satan has tried to ruin it for me. He has used those closest to me to produce a selfish attitude in my house. It hasn't been pleasent and honestly I sorta began to just wish Easter was over already. I know that's stupid but, for a moment I got annoyed because my family didn't seem to get that Easter isn't about them and their comfort and it seemed like I was the only one who was really concerned about it. So I went to my room and attempted a quiet time. I've been reading the end of John and tonight I read the end of chapter 21 where Jesus tells Simon Peter to feed His lambs and shepherd His sheep and I realized that I can't focus on what my family is doing and I can't get upset and hurry an important day by. Jesus rose from the grave on Easter. That aught to be celebrated but, even more so, that aught to be told to those who don't know. We need to feed the lambs and shephard the sheep. We need Easter. It is everything our beliefs are centered around and we need it to remind us that we have a job and that job is to tell the world what happened on this very important day. Our God is not dead, He beat death and is living and active! The lost deserve to know that truth. Happy Easter everyone.
