Celebrating Easter - He Is Risen! A Reflection on Easter’s Eternal Meaning | Nashville Christian Family Magazine - April 2025 issue

As Christians, we celebrate Easter this month, honoring the Resurrection of Jesus Christ—the cornerstone of our faith. This sacred event calls us to reflect on the profound sacrifice God made when He sent His Son to bear the weight of our sins and suffer a brutal death on the cross.

In His crucifixion, the sinless Jesus willingly took upon Himself the sins of the world, fulfilling God’s divine plan out of pure, unfathomable love. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He humbly surrendered to the Father’s will, praying:

“Abba, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)

His sacrifice offers us a gift beyond measure—the assurance of eternal life for all who believe, seek forgiveness, and strive to walk in His footsteps. This is the heart of the Gospel—the Good News that brings hope to a broken world!

But Easter is not just a holiday; it is a reality that transforms our lives. The Resurrection is not meant to be remembered only once a year—it is a daily truth that shapes how we live. “He is Risen! Hallelujah!” is more than a proclamation; it is a call to embrace the hope, renewal, and victory found in Christ.

May we carry the spirit of Easter with us every day, living in the joy and power of the risen Savior. Let His resurrection be the foundation of our faith, the source of our strength, and the light that guides our lives.
