No insanity update today - it was a scheduled rest day and it's good because I'd rather talk about something much more important. Today was Easter Sunday.
This is the day that we celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection on the third day after his crucifixion. This is the day that makes the other 364 days of the year worth living. For all the miracles, there were many men in history that performed miracles. For all the wise teachings of Jesus, there were many men in history that gave us wisdom. For all the compassion that Jesus showed, there were many men that were compassionate to their fellow man. Even his death at the cross would be nothing more than a paragraph in a history book if it were not for today.
Today shows us that Jesus was more than a magician. Today shows us he was more than a wise teacher - more than a man full of compassion. Today we celebrate that Jesus was God incarnate, who gave himself as a perfect sacrifice for our sins, was crucified, died and was buried, and that He rose again.
We give each other gifts on Christmas to symbolize the gifts that the wise men gave to Jesus as a baby born in the manger. Today we don't give any big gifts, perhaps because we know that they could not even begin to symbolize the gift that Jesus gave us in salvation.
