I Celebrate Easter

Good Friday, is the day Jesus was crucified on the cross.  
Jesus was willing to give His life for ours in order to give 
us eternal life.

Easter Sunday, is the day Jesus rose from his tomb. 
This is a joyous day and reminds us of His love for all
of us.

This is why I celebrate Easter, because I love Jesus for
all he did for you and for me.
He has prepared us a home in heaven and filled it with 
his everlasting love for us.

This is such a nice reminder of what Jesus did for us! I love that you brought up the fact he died for us to give us eternal life, and that he rose from the dead to save us because of his love! This is a great reminder of his love for us, "everlasting love for us"! I really enjoyed this write that I have read this evening! Great Work!!
