What is so significant about this day?


This is the day where the whole world celebrates Easter. A day where Jesus rose from the dead after three days having experienced a gruesome death. This exacts high significance because His death was recorded in the Bible thousands of years ago. Not only that, the way He will be born, exact place, the kind of life He would lead and the kind of death He will die.

If you do a little research you will see that all the happenings were the fulfillment of prophecies, recorded in the Bible, which was verified in history and by all fields of science. Why is it then, some are still skeptical about this greatest event? Simply because people are so used to knowing history of many other prominent personalities who claimed to be God, but used power to fight back, wage war, throw kingdoms, marry in most cases and lead a life like one of us or some after disappointment from sorrows went to find answers. And now to accept someone who was completely exceptional makes it difficult for us to believe.

Our human mind is so used to believing the views of the majority. It is like if you are born in a particular country where the majority are followers of one creed, you assume all have to be following the creed, therefore the belief that anyone who is different is abnormal, insane or a traitor is a false assumption.

If you read, Jesus did not marry for a simple reason. If He claimed to be God, He is therefore claiming the creation to be His children. Thus, it doesn't justify to marry His own creation, in other words His daughter. We all have our own view in this pluralistic culture but all that matters is to find God who can live in our hearts. A God who transforms us to be a better person and who has defined moral boundaries for our good and for our safety.

Today most of the world is suffering because of the moral failure, and God has to bring to a halt man's selfishness in order to help us align our relationship with God. We wrong to think that God is obliged to us. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. It is we who are obliged to accept the salvation offered to us by God and to find the Savior who assured forgiveness of sin, peace and assurance to spend our eternity with God forever.

You are saved by a right belief system not by religious structures of any religion. May this day resurrect new hope, new life and peace in the midst of all challenges.
