Easter Sunday. The day Christians celebrate as a day of new life, new hope and new beginnings. It is the ultimate day of forgiveness. When Jesus claimed victory over death on that celebrated day we call Easter, He also erased the past and wiped the slate clean. Death was the price. The price for all we have done wrong, for the selfishness that has defined our lives and our beginnings. But His resurrection, that glorious victory over death, was the reward and the supernatural making right of a new and glorious future.
When Jesus came back to life it was a celestial unveiling of His Godly character and a sounding trumpet of the victory and the new beginning He was going to offer to all. By accepting His victory and believing in Him as the only Son of God, you too can celebrate a new life. There is a time for all of us to reflect on our lives. A time to recall the mistakes, the humiliations, the failures, the regrets, all of those moments we wish we could erase from our memories. At that moment, the moment when all the guilt and shame flood over our souls, you can know that when you have a relationship with Jesus, He earses the slate.
The resurrection of life of Jesus gives us a reason to celebrate. A celebration of a new day, a new hope and a new beginning. No matter what you have done or what others have done to you, God can give you a new start. I pray this Easter you will accept His renewal and start fresh. You can say, “I’m forgiven”. It’s a New Day. New Hope. New Beginning.
Because He Lives, IMforgiven.
