Happy Easter!!!
2000 years ago, Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday. 3 days later he resurrected and rose from the dead on Easter.
Easter isn't about the easter eggs and easter bunny although both easter eggs and bunnies are very cute. Easter is about Jesus rising from the dead and about the love He has for us.
Although I've seen the Easter drama a few times, I teared again this year. Somehow the scene whereby the roman soldiers whipping Jesus never fail to drive my tears out from my eyes. But somehow, this year there was something extra which I gained out of the drama. A revelation which was a while there, but I forgotten and neglected in pursuing.
Jesus died on the cross bearing all my guilt and shame. Every whip he had on his body signifies the problems and agony I had. By bearing the lashing, he took all my problems with him. Although I always said I would give him my pain, I never fully did until today.
On top of all, it wasn't all because of Alex that I felt miserable. Also cos I felt guilty and ashamed that I almost broke my vow to God and that I wasn't strong enough to resist temptation (dunno if it's the right word to use but couldn't think of any better word). But Jesus died on the cross 2000 years ago, bearing all my sin and shame. His blood washed my scarlet red sins to snowy white.
Man has failed me and so have I failed myself and God and other men, but God will never fail me.
Thank You Jesus for the cross. If You din love me so much, I wont have been where I am today. Love You Lord!!
