Seeing Easter

Us outdoor types are usually very observant and see a lot that the average person may miss. It seems to never fail I’ll be driving down a road and I’ll see wildlife everywhere and my wife often times doesn’t see it till I point it out. “How can you be watching the road while scanning the fields looking for deer” she’ll often ask me. I’m not exactly looking in the fields but after years of observing critters I just can pick them out. We’ve trained our brains and our eyes to see the wildlife and we can do that with spiritual things as well.
We look around us and we can’t help to see the Creator’s handiwork in all of creation around us and we have to realize that there is a Creator. Some of us may recognize a Creator but don’t take the extra step to develop a relationship with Him through his Son Jesus. Jesus defeated death for us and that is what we celebrate every Easter. Accepting his sacrifice for our sins we can also have victory over death and enjoy eternal life.
On that original Easter Morning the tomb Jesus was in was sealed and secured with soldiers guarding it and the Bible tells us that the stone was rolled back. Why to let Jesus out? No to let man in to see that the tomb was empty. There are a number of accounts of Jesus appearing to those who knew him well and them not recognizing him at first…why? I’m not sure maybe disbelief or utter sadness over his death but like critters on the side of the road once someone points it out we can’t help but see.

I went to the community sunrise service this morning at Lake Benson Park. There were a good number of folks for it being such a cool morning. For me sunrise is always a special time, and I often find myself talking with God so this morning was no different. Something about singing “Up From The Grave He Arose” as the geese get up off the lake and fly over joining in our praise for the Creator. I get to do this many mornings a year often from a treestand or a blind and not so many people but it’s great to rejoice with all creation. I hope you can see clearly the message of Easter and that you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior if not check this link out for more information.
Happy Easter
