i just wanted to say happy Easter to everyone! and as you are chomping on your chocolate, and humming 'here comes peter cottontail', bring to mind the real meaning of Easter. this consumerism has really taken away from all that these holidays really are, and are suppose to be about. so before you pick up another of those delicious mini eggs whisper a prayer of thanks for the sacrifice Jesus made for you.
He was despised and rejected by men, a
man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. isaiah 53: 3-5
