The Easter message reveals the wickedness of the devil but the love of God in His Son Jesus Christ. It reveals the master plan and wisdom of God beyond all human and satanic wisdom and expectations. On the part of the devil and enemies of Jesus, it marked the end of His ministry and influence in the lives of people. On the part of God, it was the fulfillment of His promise to save the world from the devil and sin and spiritual death. It marked forgiveness of sins on the cross and total redemption. Jesus overcame sin, death, the devil and his demons and resurrected from the dead to give us the gift of eternal life and life of righteousness in Him.
Jesus endured the sufferings of the cross in order to make eternal salvation complete. It involved physical and psychological torture as the perfect will of God for Him. It was the road and pathway to victory as the Son of God and Messiah. After resurrection, He showed Himself to His disciples because they believed in Him and not to people who did not believe in Him. He is the Life Giving Spirit and all who believe in Him as having died on the cross for their sins and resurrected from the dead receive forgiveness of sins, the promise of eternal life and become children of God.
The message of the cross was therefore entrusted to His disciples and now to all believing Christians to preach the gospel for the salvation of people in every nation, country, tribe and language. Hallelujah. We are to preach the gospel but through the gift and baptism of the Holy Spirit to do it Christ’s way and achieve His results, and destroy all the powers and influence of the devil. There are more gospel revelations and truths to read, understand and practice by the help of the Holy Spirit. Know that Easter is not about religiosity but about belief and practice of the Christian faith in the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes read the details buddy and believe always for the gift of eternal life and blessings. Amen!
