(Just gonna say before you start reading this writing does include about Christian Values) Happy Easter everyone!!! As most of you know Easter is a Christian holiday! Where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his victory over death! The Story: (I shortened it a bit to be quickly read) Jesus was arrested shortly after the Last Supper in the Garden of Gethsemane which was part of the Passover meal, which the Synoptic Gospels indicate was on Thursday night. The arrest was led by Judas, who identified Jesus to the authorities with a kiss, and included a detachment of soldiers and officials. After being condemned by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council, Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate. The trial occurred before Pilate, the Roman governor, as the Jewish leaders sought his authority to execute Jesus, which they themselves couldn't do. Pilate found Jesus to be not guilty and tried to help free Jesus, but he grew to be afraid of the crowds and finally gave in to have Jesus crucified. Jesus was beaten, cursed at, and mocked. He was hang on a cross for criminals despite being innocent. He could have looked down at the people who were mocking him below who were saying "If he is so strong let him save himself!" "He saved others but can't save himself" Even one of the criminals who was hanged with him, mocked him saying "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" but the other criminal expressed remorse and asked Jesus to remember him in his kingdom, to which Jesus promises he will be with Him in Paradise. Jesus did not mock back, He didn't curse the people who mocked them He said "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" Jesus last words were "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit". Other sayings often attributed to Jesus during his crucifixion include "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" and "It is finished".
(Continued) With His last breath He gave His life for us. He was put in a tomb and he laid there for 3 days. On the third day He had risen. Beating death and the devil. HE IS RISEN!!! AMEN!!!
