“He is not here; He has risen!” Matthew 28:6
Easter is about resurrected life. This can take place everyday of your life and culminates in living with Jesus forever.

You cannot get to Easter without death. This is the journey of a Christ follower. You die to self so you can live for Jesus.
The death is a process of becoming transformed into a new creature with the personality and character of God.
You live in a shallow grave whether you are alive or have died. The upside of Easter is the resurrected power of God which is sealed in inside all believers.
The Holy Spirit is the life of Christ. After you have suffered for a while (or maybe for several years) the God of glory will deliver you from your afflictions. This is a promise of God.
Easter is about new life. And, you can celebrate Easter today.
The reality of Easter is Jesus lives in you and wants to share His attributes with you. And, He wants to speak to you.
Jesus offers you unlimited strength, joy, wisdom, and protection.
Reach out to God by faith and give the Holy Spirit authority over your life.
You will meet the Living Christ and your life will never be the same.
Wherever you are today, the miracle of Easter is a shallow grave!
He lives so you can live!
