Happy Easter!



Easter is more than the Easter bunny, the chocolate, colouring Easter eggs, and the Easter egg hunt.  It began a long time ago when our Savior Jesus Christ suffered for our sins, was crucified and died for us.  He returned as a resurrected being, body and spirit reunited, to bear evidence to all mankind that He lives, He was risen and resurrected.  He died that man might live. 

I hope we will all take some time from our celebrations to recall His loving sacrifice.  What greater love can we know than that of our Savior who willingly suffered on our behalf that we might be able to repent of our sins and be resurrected as a whole, to be reunited with Him again.  My heart is full as I ponder so magnificent and perfect a love.

May you spend this Easter in remembrance, surrounded by those you love.  Happy Easter!!
