What is
Easter: Easter is a
special festival celebrated to mark the resurrection
Of Jesus
Christ by the Christians and could be regarded as the oldest Christian festival
Spiritual
significance of Easter:
It is clear that Easter has special significance to the early generations of
Christians, it helps the early to reflect on the Christ passion and
resurrection – the passion observation was indeed tuned into celebration by the
first Jewish Christians, so Easter became a central event for the Christian
faith.
Easter also
signifies a period of grace for deliverance and victory over enemies to those
who place there trust and faith in Christ-Jesus who was first delivered from
the power of the grave on Sunday, today marked Easter Sunday, It was during
Easter that the angel of the Lord miraculously delivered peter from the jail-
the angel visited him and freed him, Acts 4:10. Due to these this grace and
love showed to Peter by the Lord, Easter has significantly become a period for
deliverance, a period we should show love to one another and visit those in
Prison possibly grant them pardon and let them go free if we are in the
position or power to do so, we should also visit those who are in sick beds
giving the gifts, it is a period of extravagant magnanimity- which is evident
in the through the raising of Jesus from the grave, secondly; it was evident
through the freeing of Peter from the prison, Easter is a period of prayer to God
to help us through his extravagant love lavished on Christ- through raising him
from the grave ignoring the strength and the seem insurmountable power of the grave.
HOW EASTER WAS
OBSERVED IN THE EARLIEST CHURCH.
Easter was
observed as a vigil beginning from Saturday evening and ending on Sunday
morning and included remembrance of Christ crucifixion as well as resurrection.
Later around A.D 300, Easter observation was divided into two- the original
observance dedication Good Friday to the crucifixion and Easter Sunday to the
resurrection.
EASTER
PERIOD.
Easter
occurring in the first quarter (Q1) or at the end of Q1 shows that our troubles
for the year could end as Q1 ends if we believe and work in obedience to our
creator, the author of all things; good and bad, evil and peace.
It also
means that we can end our arrogance against our God as the Q1 ends and begin a
newness of life, which actually ushers in our life a period of surprise and
amazement, it was after Easter the disciples of Christ who stand as witness of
Christ resurrection to the world received the greatest surprise of their life
when Jesus who supposedly dead visited them at the upper room, wooh!; Thomas
who was absent when Jesus visited when told the story, said; I will not believe
that story, except I see him myself and insert my finger in the hole marked by
the crucifixion nail in his palm and side.
The news of
his appearance to his disciples after dead and burial was shocking one
especially to the disciple who was absent, but a surprise package for the first
set of disciples who saw him.
As you make
reconciliation with Christ in this Easter, you will receive your Easter
surprise package in Jesus name, and your troubles and sorrows will be forced to
end as this 2017 Easter ends in Jesus name.
Conclusion:
Easter is a time of Christ passion observation, the passion observation was
eventually turned into celebration, it is considered the oldest festival of the
Christian faith, around A.D 300, Easter festival was divide into two parts by
the early observers – the first part considers the Good Friday for crucifixion
and the second part considers Easter Sunday for resurrection, Easter was
originally celebrated as Virgil which begins on Saturday evening and ends on
Sunday morning, Easter is a period to extent love to one another, visit those
in prison to share love with them because God indeed lavished love on Christ
during this period by raising him out from the seem insurmountable power of the
grave thereby proving the he can raise every believers from the dead, therefore
ending the power of the grave…..
