Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, Jammers! graciepopstar91 here!

Today is the day that seems to have turned into a big commercialized holiday filled with bunnies, candy, and eggs 😬.

Though all that stuff is fun, over the years, we have lost the whole focus of what Easter is really about. It's not about bunnies, candy, and eggs, it's about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Really, and honestly, the whole Easter Bunny concept, is quite.. Creepy.

A few days ago, me and my parents were at Walmart, and there was a very disturbing person dressed up as the Easter Bunny.. Giving out candy..

Why should Easter be about that?

This year, I ask all of you, to not set your focus on what Easter has become, and celebrate what Easter was really about. Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, for our sins, and rose again on the third day.

Lostfairy's sister, Tracey, wrote an absolutely wonderful poem for Easter, that I wanted to share with you guys, to get a picture of what Easter is really about.

When Love Runs Red

by Tracey Dyck

When Love comes down to authored world—

Conceived within a virgin girl,

Laid to rest in bed of straw—

Come to satisfy the law . . .

When Love walks with the least of these

And answers blind men’s searching pleas;

Touches lepers, calls forth the dead,

And finds no place to rest His head . . .

When Love endures the scoffers’ words,

The hatred by His enemies stirred;

And bows to take a crown of thorns,

The cross upon His shoulders borne . . .

When Love climbs up that hill of death

And cries forgiveness with final breath—

When wrath of God on Him does fly

And night engulfs the weeping sky . . .

When Love runs red down rugged beams

And wrongs are washed by scarlet streams,

When blackest sinner becomes white,

Declared by God to be made right . . .

How can our hearts not drown in this?

This flood of grace, redemption’s kiss?

How can we not succumb to Him?

In light of this, all else grows dim.

When Love emerges from the grave,

Makes children of the serpent’s slaves,

The victory won, the chasm spanned,

In glorious light we Beloved stand.

Though this post isn't AJ related, I hope this gives you all a better picture of what Easter is really all about!

Heres todays Bible verse!

Matthew 28:6

He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.

Remember, God made YOU!
