April 17 is the day to commemorate the death of our dear LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. The real reason of the event and celebration. The Messiah that came to die in our place to save us from our sins. The one who gave us the gift of salvation from sin. He came to give us life and have it more abundantly according to the Scripture (John 10:10). Hence, we celebrate the day as gratitude and remembrance to what He had done. He gave His life in obedience to the Father’s will and to show how much He loves us.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
The other wonderful thing that we all need to watch for is His return. The LORD Jesus is coming back and He is calling all His bride. We all need to return to our first love, Jesus Christ, the one who paid it all. May you celebrate the real reason of the season; giving thanks for what the King of kings and LORD of Lords had done for us. Happy Resurrection day.
