welp, better late than never....

================

For the death he died he died to sin, once and for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus
[Romans 6:10-11]

society has somewhat skewed the image of Easter, overloading it with pastel colors, baby animals and baskets of candy-filled eggs. while all those things are lovely, fun and super cute, that's not quite what our focus should be on. during this season, we should remember the death, burial and ultimately, the resurrection of Christ. we remember that he died for our sins, for the sins of undeserving sinful people. now that's forgiveness.

but that is not to say that we should only wait around for this time of year to roll around to remember this extraordinary event. im so thankful that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, for our sake. had all this not happened, i'd be living a life without purpose. i'd be so lost without the perfect example of Christ. i pray that i will be constantly mindful of the sacrifice at the cross and the endless rewards of living a life for God. happy resurrection sunday friendsies.
