 Easter Sunday, April 9th, 2023

As I was growing up I remember Easter being a wonderful holiday with going to church and having dinner with your extended family of grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc.  It is certainly still a wonderful holiday without a doubt but to so much of the world it seems like just another day.  How many people in the world don't see the significance and importance of Easter?  To them it is just another day.  No big deal.  Nothing different from any other day.  Or to others it is the day in which you simply give colored eggs and candy and visits from the Easter Rabbit. And yet we know that Easter is so much more than that.  We know that Our Blessed Lord gloriously rose from the dead on that first Easter morn defeating death on our behalf.  Our Lord did all on our behalf.  He died on the Cross to save us from our sins and He rose again from the Tomb in order to save us from death.  By His efforts on our behalf.   He has allowed us to share in eternity in the presence of Our Heavenly Father.  But we need to say yes.  We need to give our life to Christ.  We need to dedicate our life to the One Who dedicated His life for us.  Our Lord gave His life for us.  He became the Sacrificial Lamb and sacrificed His life for us.  Eather represents new life . . . new beginnings . . .  In this light let us dedicate our lives to Christ in a new way.  Let us dedicate our life to our Heavenly Father.  Let us become a new creature in Christ Jesus!
