Rising from the dead, Freedom, Easter

This, from Reason, just to get you thinking:

On the first Good Friday, the government executed Him for claiming to be the Son of God. He had the freedom to reject this horrific event, but He exercised His freedom so that we might know the truth. The truth He manifested is that His acceptance of the destruction of His body would demonstrate to us that we can liberate our souls from the slavery of sin and our free wills from the oppression of the government. Three days later, on Easter, that manifestation was complete when He triumphed over death by rising from the dead.

  1. Wow..well said. Regardless of anyone's view of this fellow I think it is safe to say that the act of sacrifice of ones personal will or life for the benefit of others is the true mark of love. We just watched Lincoln and was grateful for all of those who sacrificed so much.
