Judas Iscariot
What have I done? What have I done? Have I really turned against a blameless man? What was I thinking? I felt Jesus was coming as a political leader. I never knew he wanted to be a servant leader. I remember how he admonished his disciples when they were indignant at Salome request that her son should sit at Jesus left and right hand. Jesus had told them that whoever wanted to be great in the kingdom must serve and be willing to serve.

Easter is derived from the German word Eastern. The origin of Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover when the Israelites escaped from Egypt. The date for Easter falls on Sundays between 22 March and 25 April after the Astronomical full moon. The following Monday is a holiday for many Christian nations.

Easter is all about salvation for sinners who need a heart of flesh. God sent his son Jesus to loosen the callousness of our heart so we can repent and experience salvation.

Before God created man, he prepared Earth as a beautiful birthday present for man. Man was lured into sin and God again came through by sending his son Jesus to die for our sin. Easter was the fulfilment of Christ’s destiny. He was born to save sinners. Through death we are given life and hope again on a platter of gold after the sin of disobedience. Easter is celebrated with Joy because Christ has conquered death and we are given another opportunity to conquer our human flaws. We are forever reconciled with Christ

A poem that captures the mystery of Easter by Carol

When I say I am a Christian

I am not shouting I have been saved

I am whispering I get lost sometimes

That is why I chose this way

When I say I am a Christian

I don’t speak with human pride

I am confessing that I stumble needing God to be my guide

When I say I am a Christian

I am not trying to be strong

I am professing that I am weak

And pray for strength to carry on

When I say I am a Christian

I am not bragging of success

I am admitting that I have failed

And cannot ever pay the debt

When I say I am a Christian

I don’t think I know it all

I submit to my confusion

Asking humbly to be taught

When I say I am a Christian

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartache

Which is why I seek God’s name?

When I say I am a Christian

I do not wish to Judge

I have no authority

I only know I am loved
