What is the spiritual meaning of Easter?
Resurrection Sunday or Easter is the day Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection three days after His death on the cross. It comes after Good Friday when christians observe the crucifixion and Jesus’ great sacrifice for humanity. It is a solemn day of reflection.
What great sacrifice am I talking about?
“He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.” 2 Corinthians 5:15 NLT
Jesus loved us so much that He paid the penalty for our sin (any shortcoming or flaw) so that we can STILL have a personal relationship with Him both in heaven and on earth.
He made it so we aren’t limited to our shortcomings, but we can choose to experience life more abundantly alongside the God that has triumphed over ALL things.
These easter bible studies will expand on this very concept and take you deeper into the significance of Jesus’ resurrection to your life.
