EASTER

“But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.”
We took the trail up, marked, Way of the Cross and walked its path, viewing the portrayals of Christ’s crucifixion made in bronze under the many crosses along the path. It focused on the Crucifixion of Christ, the true meaning of Easter.









This trail, Way of the Cross, ended with only half of the good news, that Jesus suffered and died for each and every one of us. The second half of the good news, the tomb is empty! Had Jesus’ body been taken down from the cross which He chose to go to, His body laid in the tomb and His flesh decayed to dust, Jesus would be just another historic account of a good man who’d done some amazing miracles in his life.
Our Easter celebration, is because of this second half of the good news, Jesus lives! His tomb is empty! HE IS RISEN! Death had no power over Jesus because He is the great I AM, the creator of life, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last” He is Savior for all who call upon His name for salvation. HAPPY EASTER everyone!
