We make Easter about all sorts of things. Family, eggs, candy, and everything else. But for Christians, the resurrection of Christ is about one thing only: new life over death and payment for our sins.
Jesus didn't die to give us a re-organized life.
Jesus didn't die to give us a more focused life.
Jesus didn't die to give us new priorities.
Jesus died to give us new life. And new life alone can come from Him.
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; 5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead? 6 "He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, 7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." 8 And they remembered His words, 9 and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Luke 24:1-9
