"WTBW?" Wednesday

Since it is the week of Easter, I thought maybe writing some thoughts about this week may be appropriate. Right? Let's see, what else is going on this week that can overshadow it.......NCAA tournaments, Spring break, and the first day of Spring.

Nothing says Christ our Lord is risen like time wasting office pools, college kids migrating south as an excuse to party, and bunnies.

The Bible Study/connection group we are part of took time Monday night to reflect on what Jesus did for us on the cross. We ate supper together, watched "The Passion of the Christ" movie, and took communion. It was a solemn time watching the excruciatingly painful death He endured to take away our sins. Even greater though, was the thankfulness we should feel this week knowing what was done on that cross changed the world forever.

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

True Christianity is not about attending "the right" church. It's not about how nice of a person you are, how many good works you have done, if you were baptized, or what country you were born in. The only way to become a true Christian is to recognize you are a sinner and are destined for eternity apart from God. You must confess your sin and ask Jesus to come into your life. It's a free gift. You just have to ask for it and take it.

Take some time this week to think about the true meaning of Easter.
