Time to become brand new again

EASTER is significant for several reasons.

It has become a cultural and secular holiday in many parts of the world, celebrated with traditions like egg hunts, egg decorating, and spending time with family and friends.
Easter’s focus on sacrifice, forgiveness and compassion, can inspire people of all backgrounds to reflect on their values, relationships, and actions. It can be a time for introspection and personal growth.
For Christians, Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which is central to the Christian faith and the foundation of their hope and salvation.
It is a reminder of God’s love and grace, as demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and provides the means for forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God, offering the path to eternal life.
Easter is a time to reflect on our faith journey, renew our commitment to follow Christ, and experience spiritual growth.
It also serves as a reminder of the Great Commission, where Jesus instructed his followers to go and make disciples of all nations.
Easter is an opportunity to share the message of hope and salvation with others and to invite them into a relationship with Christ.
The Bible says that if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and confess with your mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will receive the forgiveness of sins, and your relationship with God will be restored.
Your past becomes history, and you become a brand new person to start a new life in Jesus Christ.
