Church On Easter for Us!

Well as much as Scott and I love Jesus we do not actually get up and go to church on Easter. Don't worry! We do our own little church service here at our home. Our main reason we don't go is because two years ago we tried to go but the line to get into church was so far backed up we did not even get into church until after the worship was over:) We were in awe at how many people were standing in line to praise Jesus! And then the thought came to us that on Easter we would give up our seat in the congregation so that someone who maybe did not know Jesus could have a seat! There are probably a million differing opinions on this BUT it is just what we felt led to do. So every Easter weekend we go to the Good Friday service at Verizon. If you have never been you really should go! It is amazing. BUT this year I was amazed once again by all the love for Jesus! When we got to the amphitheater there was a line stretched back about 2 miles long! Longest line I have ever seen!! And all these people were there for one reason: To give thanks and praise the KING! Then I thought how cool would it be if we took our praising and thanksgiving for Jesus even farther! How cool would it be if lines stretched far back for HIM every single weekend? Yes, we should give him extra thanks on Easter and praise him for paying our debt on the cross and giving his life for our sins BUT it all boils down to we need to be giving him thanks for this every single day. Because yes he died on the cross on Good Friday, and rose from the dead on Easter BUT because of what he did our FUTURE has been changed forever. We have eternal life and all of our sins have been forgiven if you choose to trust him with your life! That is GREAT NEWS for not only on EASTER but every single day of our lives!
