What is Easter About? He is Alive!

Jesus was soon going back to his Father. But he was leaving the disciples with a mission. A mission to carry on his earthly ministry. It is found in Mathew 28:19-20. Go ye therefore into all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo I am with you always. Even unto the end of the world.

Friends, that is called the Great Commission and it was given not only to his disciples but to all that would come after. Including you and me. We live in a dying world. Who will tell of Christ, if we don't? The enemy would blot us out if he could, but in verse 18 of that chapter, Jesus said, "All power is given to me in heaven and earth." No one can take it away. No one.

Jesus had completed his ministry that began as a tiny baby in Bethlehem. It took him approximately 33 years to see its fruition. There was only one thing left to do. It was time for him to go home to his
Father.

Now when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up. And a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven, as he went up, behold two men stood beside them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand to gaze up into the heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up to heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven. Amen.Acts 1:9-11;

As the disciples departed the place where Jesus had been taken up, it was now up to them to continue on as he had commissioned them.

Jesus is Alive!

All of  Jesus life, death, and resurrection in total, was and is what Easter is all about. But it does not stop there. He is coming back for those that have decided to trust him during their lifetime. Is he coming back for you?.
