Easter Sunday

Some place in eternity, Jesus stepped into time and took a stroll through the vast expanse of nothingness and I can imagine the scene being something like this…

Day one---“Daddy, I created the earth and then made light and separated it from the darkness”...”That's good, Jesus!”

Day two---“Daddy, I separated the water into two parts, some for the
sky and some to cover the earth!” ... ”That's good, Jesus!”

Day three---“Daddy, guess what? Today I separated the sea from the dry
land and I put some plants and trees and lots of fruit. And I created this beautiful Garden!” ... ”That's good, Jesus!”

Day four---“Daddy, today I made the Sun and the Moon! I had so much fun I made billions of other stars and countless planets!” .... ”That's good, Jesus!”

Day five---“Daddy, today I spent time in the water and created some creatures to live in the oceans and I made many different kinds of birds to fly through the beautiful sky”… ”That's good, Jesus!”

Day six---“Daddy, today was filled with all kinds of wonder. I made land animals, ones that walk, some tall, and some really close to the ground. I made small ones, large ones and some to be used for work. And then I did as we talked about and made man in our image and then made him a partner. Daddy as I looked at them, I saw the Three of us.”… ”That's good, Jesus!”

Day seven---“Daddy, today I am going to rest. Today is a blessed and holy one. It is a good day.”

At one moment in time, the most precious of all His creation, the one made in His image, took tools from materials that He had made and killed Him. The creation killed the Creator! But all of this was the Father's plan. A plan that was born out of His love for you and for me. A plan that is available today, a gift that is free to you and me yet cost Him everything!

John 3:16. Christmas was the first expression, Good Friday showed the cost of that expression, Easter seals the deal of that expression and gives us eternal hope in the Giver of that eternal hope. May this Easter be your best one yet and that because you have given yourself completely to the one who gave all for you!
