“For the message of the Cross is
foolishness
to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18
Look at
the Cross and ask the question …“WHY?”
There is a deadly
enemy, and it is his purpose to denigrate and ultimately destroy
everything and anything having to do with the life, mission, and
purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. What a tragedy — to muddy
something so beautiful and eternally important as God’s redemption
of man.
People make it a time of bunnies and eggs, things that
have absolutely nothing to do with the greatest event in all of
history – the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The
Catholic church set the remembrance of the Resurrection on the feast
day of the false goddess Astarte, which is “Easter” in English.
Astarte (Easter) is the goddess of fertility and sexuality, hence the bunnies and the eggs. What an
affront to the risen Savior who rose from the dead three days after
Passover, having conquered death and hell for all who would believe
in him.
Satan clothes his allurements in beauty, fun and
pleasure, as he does despite to the King of Glory.
Saints, do
not take the atonement achieved by Jesus Christ lightly. He is the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the one who conquered hell and the
grave. Give to him the honor due him.
