It obliterated my sins and they can no longer be found (Pastor Les) The main point of the Easter story is that JESUS WAS DEAD BUT IS NOW ALIVE. But Easter is more than just one big special day. It is also the day most churches have their biggest day of attendance. Celebrations abound with music, drama, decorations, and food that are rarely seen on other Sundays. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The Mother of All Bombs was dropped on the weight of sin that held us captive at the cross of Jesus. John 21:1-19 (NRSV) Easter Sunday is a big day for the Christian Church. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ” 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. By turning everything around Jesus changes everything. He turns death to life and defeat into victory. Christ brings back colour and music to the grey of a monochromatic and silent world.
His will is fixed today, like it was that day, and his sights are set on accomplishing God’s purpose. But Jesus is always leading us upwards by showing us glimpses of how the world should have been. Jesus’ journey began ten chapters ago in Luke 9:51 where it was said of him, When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. Matthew 21:1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. First, Jesus’ journey to the cross is a SOVEREIGN journey.
