Description

You know, he went on about a lot of things, What he was doing at that supper was the culmination of something that had been decided like thousands of years before, when the Godhead decided that he was the one who was going to die for the sins of the people that God was going to create, so that God could have sons. God had to make it so that they had to keep his law, because his law was final and it was a law for all. You know, all universe, I guess that if you broke this law, your penalty was death. So God, in His wisdom, said you will have to die in their place to satisfy the law, because my law is supreme, can’t be broken. I can’t break it, even if it’s my law, even if I’m, you know, for me to be just and true, I can’t break my own law. Now, when they said that, when Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane, he was sweating blood, he didn’t like to do what he had to do and then, of course, he asked his father if he could take this cup away from me. What he meant is you know, can I do this Some other way? And because he would have full knowledge about what was going to happen to him and, being he was in a human body, he would suffer and the suffering would be horrendous and his suffering had to equal the death of all the human race and in God’s eyes it did so.

When people celebrate Easter with Easter bunnies and eggs and stuff, like we do, it’s a far cry from acknowledging what really happened. You know, it’s sort of been hijacked. In fact, I would say it’s been hijacked. Yeah, bunnies and chocolate, eggs and rabbits. And yeah, parades, Easter parades. Tomorrow, Sunday, we’ll be having a big Easter Sunday lunch, full bore deal. I think it’ll be an all-Turkey lunch and people all over the world will be celebrating.
