Easter, Resurrection Sunday, for the church and believers is all about JESUS! Jesus told His most committed followers that “He must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things!” This He did!!! But wait a minute, if we look closely, Jesus always made huge promises; magnificent claims! Jesus promised, “And be raised the third day!!!” Wow, what a claim and what a promise!!! Peter believed and preached this truth! I realize this is the same Peter who rebuked Jesus for speaking out loud about His Father’s plans! Yet when Peter believed, he believed! At Pentecost Peter boldly preached in Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that HE should be holden of it. Yes, for us as believers, Easter is all about JESUS! His victory is our victory! Rejoice!!!
1 Peter 1:8-9 Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
