Truth concerning Easter

Truth concerning Easter

See King James Bible Dictionary and Easton

The celebration of Easter began in the 16^th century – it has no roots in Christ. Chocolate bunnies and colored eggs have no place for Godly Christians.

The word for Easter is an Italian word similar in pronunciation as Easter and is a false and manmade god form by heathens – a fertility god (idol) whom the world worshipped with bunnies and eggs at the time of the season of spring, the same time the true believers in Christ celebrated the resurrection. The heathens did this to draw attention from the celebration of Christ resurrection.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with Easter, nor should you refer to the resurrection of Jesus Christ – calling it Easter.

Acts 12:4 is a very poor translation of the Greek word which means Passover. Some translations say the word is Easter - which is very wrong and ungodly.

See: studylight.org for Bible Dictionaries on this subject.

The Gospel of Christ would not be complete without the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Our (Christians) salvation depends on the resurrection giving us eternal life. 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Our bodies are touched by the resurrection of Christ and have been given new life. Romans 8:11

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Jesus Christ is the Resurrection. Because of the life of Christ and the person that He is; He is called the resurrection and life. And that is where our faith rests in Christ Himself. John 11:25-26

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

We should worship the Lord God Almighty and have no other gods before Him. Luke 4:8 and Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’  Exo 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Deuteronomy 6:14 “You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you.

Let us who are Christians worship The Lord God Almighty and Him only do we worship. Let us not confuse Easter which is a pagan holiday with the resurrection of Christ.

A Humble heart brings the greatest blessings

A Humble heart brings the greatest blessings.

1Peter 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

Ways we can humble ourselves: One: Confess our sins, Two: Worship, Three: Become a Servant, Four: Prayer and Five: Fasting.

When we confess our sins to another person we are not only speaking the truth about ourselves, but we humbling ourselves. James 5:16 confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

When we come before God in Worship by bowing or kneeling or to prostrate ourselves before Him, this expresses a humble heart. Psalms 95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

Jesus is our example of becoming a servant: Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

Philippians 2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

Philippians 2:8 and being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Philippians 2:9 therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.

When we pray and seek God and ask Him for the things we desire we are in a position of being humble before Him because we know He can only give us our needs. Matthew 6:6 “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Fasting is closely related to prayer and usually accompanies prayer, but is much more because we deny ourselves and say to God His will be done in our lives. Matthew 6:17 “But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

https://www.youtube.com/@christcrucifiedsaves

Matthew6:18 “so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Psalms 35:13 my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; and my prayer would return to my own heart.

These are some of the blessings you receive when you humble yourself: Philippians 2:1 therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

God promises us His encouragement, comfort, Love, fellowship in the Holy Spirit, affection and mercy when we humble ourselves.

If we want to be lifted out of any difficult or painful situation then humbling ourselves is the only way up. Matthew 23:11 “But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Matthew 23:12 “And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

1Peter 5:5 be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

1Peter 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. 1Peter 5:10 but may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Here are mores promises when you fast: Isaiah 58:5 is it a fast that I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

Isaiah 58:8 then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Isaiah 58:9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;

Isaiah 58:11 The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

We as the body of Christ have had all of our sins forgiven and we are not to give in to guilt. Remember you sins have been forgiven at the Cross when Jesus died, was buried and resurrected which is the Gospel and the power of God to save. We also are free from all curses by the crucifixion.

We have the character of Christ in us and His life so that we live like Christ and also have His divine power to do miracles to the Glory of God. See:

2Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

2Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

2Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2Peter 1:5 but also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

2Peter 1:6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

2Peter 1:7to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

2Peter 1:8 for if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2Peter 1:9 for he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
