Easter is the Super Bowl of the Christian faith. On this day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Having died to take the punishment for sin for all who believe, Jesus was placed in a tomb. Many thought that was the end of Him. They were wrong!
Jesus is alive! We will celebrate this victory tomorrow.
To prepare for it (and other Lord's Days) here are some things you can do:
1. DON'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT TO WEAR. Dress nice, but remember this is not about you. This is the day we celebrate the ultimate victory of Jesus and praise Him. Jesus has won the victory over death and sin.
2. Pray for those who will be presenting the message from Scripture. This is not just the pastor. This includes the worship leaders and the classroom teachers for all ages.
3. Prepare your heart by reading from Scripture and praying. Pray that God will reveal Himself to you in a fresh way.
4. Recontact the person you are bringing to church with you tomorrow and confirm that they are coming and let them know how excited you are that they will be celebrating with you tomorrow.
5. Pray that everyone in attendance will draw closer to God.
6. Pray that the end result of the service will be the glory of God and the passion of believers to seek to help others know Christ.
Enjoy the day. There are special meals and events that take place around this once a year celebration. But train your children in the truth and remind yourself regularly that Easter is about Jesus and not the candy or that rather large and strange bunny at the mall.
