It is Easter a.m.  I should be getting ready for church.  This is always a Sunday that I delight in.  The celebration of all that makes Christianity unique is honored on this day.  Easter separates Christianity from all religions.  The one we follow died but rose again.  The one we follow does not require that I make myself right before He accepts me.  He made everything right on Good Friday.  He paid for my sins.  The best part is that I can do nothing for Him to love me more.  I just accepted His payment gift for my sins and I now seek to love and to serve Him as He has blessed me.

After Good Friday, One Messy Saturday (http://claudssixtyfifthyear.blogspot.com/2016/03/one-messy-saturday.html) yesterdays post, I come to this day.  The day that changed the world and will continue to change the world.

Today many will walk through the doors of our church or a church.  Many who never come any other time but do so for many reasons.  Why?  Tradition perhaps. However, tradition never satisfies the need of a savior.  Religion? Religion is mans attempt to define a god.  Acts of contrition, of kindness or anything does not get one to heaven. Even showing up at a church today does not make a bit of difference. 

My hope and prayer is that on this celebration day the seeker, the questioner, the skeptic will pause and ask why Jesus?  Then begin to figure out the why? To the skeptic I say do your own investigative research.  I will never convince you.

God says: "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah (Bible) 29:13.

I do not tout a religion.  I do fellowship and worship with other Christ followers.  They are less than perfect as am I.  However, we do life together in a world that is not embracing to us.  We are humbly grateful that the one we worship, is alive, active in our lives and apart from Him we are a doomed, mess.

Check out Jesus!   You will never be the same.
