The "traditional" celebration of Easter has passed. Some might say it's all a fairy tale. Some might say it means nothing. As a Christian and a child of the Lord, I say to you, "It's the world to me!"
Jesus died on the cross for my sins and yours that we might be "saved", or so my Baptist denomination calls salvation. Other denominations may call it a different word but it means the same... COME to Jesus. Many have come to him in prayer and acceptance and that's it. Many have come and totally forgot about him after. And many have come, believed on him, and have a daily walk with Jesus. It's a spiritual thing.
You are invited, if you have not already, to read my testimony on this blog. ("My Experience of Grace, 10/1/19). I answered the call for salvation at age 9. I didn't realize exactly what believing on Jesus would mean to me but as I grow older and wiser, I realize HE is all the world to me. It's amazing, confusing, and wonderful all at the same time!
Salvation is such a simple thing--by grace through faith, the gift of God. Here's what the scripture says about it from Romans 10:9, 10, 13....
"That, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Jesus bade me come to him just as I was. I love this song:
Come.
Consider....
(I'm thinking I have one more day so tune back in tomorrow for my last Easter season writing for this year.)

Jesus bade me come to him just as I was. I love this song:
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come! I come
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come! I come
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Fighting and fears within without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Fighting and fears within without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot
to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
There you go. It's about Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection and there's so much more! I am forever grateful for all Jesus did for me and continues as I walk through life with HIM. to rid my soul of one dark blot
to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Come.
Consider....
