To the people of the world, Easter means that the perfect plan of
salvation has been provided. The Bible, God's book, summarizes the
"gospel," which means "good news," this way: "Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures . . . he was buried . . . he rose
again on the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians
15:3-4). God shows his love for us in that "while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). To God, Easter means
that he is satisfied with Jesus's death in our place. "Christ also
hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust [us], that he
might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18). Jesus Christ "is the
propitiation [the Satisfier of God's just punishment] for our sins:
and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (1
John 2:2). To the believer, Easter is the promise of everlasting
life. Jesus promised whoever "heareth my word, and believeth on him
[God the Father] that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John
5:24). God "raised up the Lord [Jesus], and will also raise up us
by his own power" (1 Corinthians 6:14). To you, Easter is a
challenge to believe. Whoever "believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life" (John 3:36). Jesus said, "I am the resurrection,
and the life: he that believeth in me . . . shall never die
[spiritually]" (John 11:25-26). You can know the true meaning of
Easter in your life today! Recognize that without Christ you are
separated from God. In honest repentance, admit your sin and your
need to be saved: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God . . . the wages of sin is death" (Romans 3:23, 6:23).
Realize that God loves you and that Jesus Christ died for your
sins. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son [to die in your place], that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). "For there is
one God, and one mediator between God and men [humankind], the man
Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). Receive the risen Christ into your
life by faith and trust him as your Savior. "For God sent not his
Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved" (John 3:17). "As many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name" (John 1:12). Eternal life begins the moment you
believe that only through Jesus can your sins be forgiven, and that
eternal life comes only from God: "it is the gift of God"
(Ephesians 2:8), it is not because of your own doing. You can be
forgiven today! That's how the true meaning of Easter can make a
difference in your life--now and forever!
