Happy late Easter! I'm sorry, I wanted to post this on Easter day, but didn't get around to it. I hope everyone's Easter was fantastic! Saturday, right before Easter, my family and I watched The Passion of the Christ. It's quite an intense movie, and most of it is true to what the Bible says. I would definitely recommend.
I've been thinking lately about a question, and I wonder if you guys might know the answer to it: Why DID Jesus rise from the dead? Did he have to come back to life?
First of all... YES.
Romans 4:35 says, "He was delivered over to death for our sins, and was raised to life for our justification."
The reason that I have been thinking about, is that he rose from the dead so that we can have eternal life. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." That day that he rose from the dead, he defeated that death that we deserve. One day, we get to be in Heaven with Jesus because he defeated death.
There are other reasons, but that was the one I was mostly thinking about. I just think it's amazing what he went through just because we couldn't stop ourselves from sinning. God's love was so powerful that he couldn't bear to see us punished. So, please don't ever say or think that nobody loves you. God has a seat in Heaven waiting - just for you.
