Yesterday

Yesterday was Easter, and it was a great day. Usually, holidays aren't a HUGE deal for me (Jonathan). I enjoy them, but for some reason, the specific holiday will come and go and I won't pay too much attention to them. On Friday, I was reading something from one of my great friends and he was reflecting on the importance of Easter, and the Lord used that to help me remember why we even have holidays. It is for the simple reason of "remembering" because we so easily forget. Regarding Easter, I so easily forget about the awesome wonder and power of Jesus' story. As some of y0u know, I love watching movies and reading books etc...and it is because I love the power of story. Yesterday, I re-experienced the truth that Jesus' story, in retrospect, is the most powerful story that has ever existed. And if that wasn't good enough, this story also happens to be true!

How easy is it for me to forget that Jesus' story is so incredible. Is it easy because I've heard it so many times, or is it easy because of my own complacence? I'm not sure what the true reason might be, but yesterday, Lindsey and I spent time reflecting on the account of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, and we both were re-awakened to this amazing story! His story is truly the great epic. And to top it off, WE get to be a part of His story! Jesus death and resurrection was done because God loved all humans, and so the Easter story happened for us! And now, the story continues as we take steps to follow Christ and become more like Him every day! Now that's a stinkin' good story!
