Easter

Easter has always been a bit confusing to me as for most folks it seems more a celebration of the crucifixion of Christ than of the resurrection.  Died for our sins.  Yes indeed.  But he did so much more than that.

For me it's always been about the resurrection and the ascension than anything else.  We always see the cross on christian things.  Bibles and Churches and necklaces and rings and what not.

What symbol do we have for the resurrection?

I myself wear a ring with a cross on it all the time.  A hollow cross that reminds me that the cross is an empty thing and a doorway to other things.

I think Christ did not come to show us how to die, but how to live and live well.  To remind us that we are not of this earth, just passing through it via the body.  He showed us, right up personal and direct that there is no death. 

"Fear not"  What a great lesson!  Which we have a great tendancy to ignore whenever possible.  Most of us spend our lives fearing everything and in so doing show our lack of faith.  We worry over the job, the relationship, retirement, the kids, the boss, the car, what does he or she think of me.  And on and on.

We are to bring All things to God in prayer.  And then leave them there!


Fear not.  A simple lesson that takes all of our attention to actually learn to do.  Must be why we were also told to keep our minds stayed on God and to pray constantly. 

Bodies do not have souls.  They are simply vessels for souls.


We are the children of the living God.  Not just bodies.  Souls using bodies to interact with other souls also using bodies.

We call him the Messiah, the Teacher.  And that's just what he did.  We so very often seem to miss the lessons though.  At least I know I do.

And where the hell did that damned bunny come in?  Eggs?  Candy? 

We really do come up with some rather bizarre ideas we do.

Incidentally if you've never had it.  Fried rabbit is great!  It really does taste just like chicken.

Just my thoughts.

John.
