Easter

I thank God for my mandarin test results...95%, ranked 7th! Woohoo.. But it's not really something to be proud as I was the 2nd last person to hand in the paper. In addition to that, most of the answers were actually already on the paper...

I found out that Easter is actually more important than Christmas...you see, Christmas is the beginning of a hope, the birth of Jesus Christ, God in the form of man aka the son of God or God in human form, while Easter is the fulfillment of the hope or the hope becoming reality and not a hope anymore.

Good Friday was the Day Jesus suffered and died on the cross, paying the punishment for all our sins also known as wrongs. Why we call it good? Well, when Jesus paid the penalty of our sins that meant we now have a clean record with God, through Jesus. Jesus paid for the past sins, present and future sins. It's like our record of wrongdoings was wiped off and Jesus's perfect life record is what we have now.

Easter Sunday was the day Jesus fulfilled the prophecy that He will Resurrect also known as come back alive 3 days later.  That shows He won death and that we have a risen Savior. So, we believe Jesus is our jurupenyelamat and though Him we can come to God.

God is so holy that God cannot stand sin but God loved us very much. At the same time God is Just so God must punish sin. So you can see that we have a problem now right? Man is sinful, Jesus said if we even think of doing something wrong means we are already as guilty as committing the sin, If we hate someone means we already committed murder, that's how HOLY God is.
So God send Jesus to earth who live a perfect life, then took the punishment of our sins upon himself. In doing this, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, remove God's wrath.

So, we can come close to God through Jesus.
