Easter is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and have nothing to do with Christianity.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. In 1 Corinthians 15 St. Paul reasoned, "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. . . .We are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead."

Jesus and the Sinner's Prayer!
"What must I do to be saved?"
It's a question millions of people have echoed since it first sprang from the lips of Paul and Silas' jailor. And like the prisoners' partially recorded reply, the answer usually given may be a bit truncated.
After all, that brief "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" contrasts starkly with the detailed response Jesus himself delivered whenever he was asked about salvation.
Find out what Jesus said was necessary for eternal life as you read David Gushee's thought-provoking article "Jesus and the Sinner's Prayer," and see how this radical view of salvation could change the way you live.

William Wilberforce and Modern-Day Slavery
His crooked spine and near-blindness could not quench his zeal for the freedom of all people. William Wilberforce championed the cause against the British slave trade, and during his 45-year Parliamentary tenure he proposed abolition a dozen times before it finally passed. Christian History & Biography has compiled the following articles and resources to help you learn more about the people and events behind the new movie, Amazing Grace, which chronicles the struggles of Wilberforce and his colleagues.

Presidential Quote
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God.
We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!
— Abraham Lincoln, March 30, 1863

If you truly love someone!
"If we truly love people, we want what's best for them—and sometimes that best requires confrontation and discipline," says Karol Ladd and Terry Ann Kelly. In "Caring Enough to Confront," they offer five helpful tools by which to effectively confront a friend or loved one.

Question: I am a Negro, but I don't like Jews. What can I do to overcome this feeling?
Answer: It is very unfortunate that you dislike Jews. This is a problem which you need to solve immediately, because it is no different from the attitude that many whites have concerning the whole Negro race. In order to deal with this problem, you must get at the roots of your dislike for the Jews. Most hate is rooted in fear, suspicion, ignorance and pride. You must be sure that all of these factors are removed from your personality where the Jews are concerned. The word prejudice means literally to prejudge, that is, to pass judgment before you have all of the facts. You have probably prejudged the Jewish community by an experience you had with one or more Jews or by some half-truths and distorted ideas that you have heard circulated concerning Jews. You can only remove this by knowing the truth and realizing that no one shortcoming can characterize a whole race. I would suggest that you seek real personal fellowship with Jews and you will discover that some of the finest persons in our nation are members of the Jewish community. Through this type of personal fellowship, you will come to know them and love them and thereby transcend the bounds of bigotry. Men hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they are so often separated from each other.

Landscape
By Roy Lessin,
Co-founder DaySpring Cards
Your life's like a landscape and God has the brush.
The work is in progress, He's not in a rush.
Each stroke has a purpose, nothing's by chance.
To see all His wisdom takes more than a glance.
Notice the sunbeams that shine on the dew --
Even the clouds can't keep them from view.
Look at the pathway that turns at the hill --
Its course will reveal what's next in His will.
The stream that's flowing with water so blue
Is bringing down blessings meant just for you.
The trees that are planted close to the stream
Will bring forth more fruit than you've ever seen.
The bird in the nest with mouth opened wide
Is just a reminder that God will provide.
Now look at the sheep in the meadow that's near
And notice the Shepherd that keeps them from fear.
He's brought them to pastures which give forth the best,
That cool and refresh, and keep them in rest.
The eagle above, that soars o'er the gale
Is God's way of saying, "My strength will not fail."
That part of the painting which now seems unclear
Will take on new meaning with each passing year.
So trust God to work in His own perfect way
And rejoice in the beauty He's painting today.

America of the Free!
The
She took in all people who were tired, and burdened, and poor,
Expressing the LOVE of the Son, and made Him the Core.
She gives love and life to all and her flag is flown.
“This Land is our Land”, and God’s way should pave!
So has it come to that time to “turn the other cheek”?
For there are many in this land that are not so meek.
For many are offended of the Christian belief,
Those that hate the Son of God and give Him grief.
A Jew to sue because, in an airport, a Christmas tree stands?
An Atheist gets mad for The Ten Commandments in our land?
My heart cries to God because of those who can not see,
That the love of Christ is for ALL MEN, to set them free.
So where are the George Washington’s and the Abraham Lincoln’s?
Where are the men of God that believe in those freedoms?
Where are the Brave that can run this country as it should be?
Where are they that need to help this country to remain free?
For now we turn to the One and Only who will give us solace.
For Christ had even said, “He who is not against us, is for us.”
And we believe and trust in God that this land will remain FREE.
For God is the core of THIS land, for you and for me!
I imagine that on rainy days that God is always crying
For now He has to see His creation fighting and dying
For an endless cause of men having it their way
Instead of trusting God in what His Word did say
That Christ would be sent to all so to live a free life
and remove our selfish ways of this endless strife.
A babe in a manger was sent from God to lead the way
That we CAN live in harmony, and peace, NEVER to stray!

The Real Spirit of Christmas

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Michael Richards, Let Loose

The first—and last—time I went to a comedy club, I was offended.
And undoubtedly, so were audience members of every other religious, ethnic, and political affiliation in the room.
Because unfortunately, comedians often forgo political correctness—and sometimes even common decency—for the sake of getting a good laugh. But no one was laughing last month when comedian Michael Richards, better known as Seinfeld's quirky Kramer, let loose an indecent tirade of racial slurs in front of a stunned comedy club audience—and a cell phone capturing it all on video.

Volume 4- December 25, 1900
ON CHRISTMAS EVE, LUISA FINDS HEFSELF IN THE CAVE AT
Finding myself in my usual state, I felt myself leave my body and after wandering around I found myself in a cave, and I saw the Queen Mamma who was giving birth to Baby Jesus. What a marvelous wonder! It seemed to me that both the Mother and the Son were transformed into the purest Light, but in this Light you could clearly discern the human nature of Jesus, which served as a veil to cover the Divinity that He contained within Himself, so that, tearing open the veil of human nature, He was God, and covered with this veil, He was man, and this is the wonder of wonders: God and man, man and God! Who, without leaving the Father and the Holy Spirit, for true Love never disunites, comes to live with us and takes on human flesh. Then it seemed to me that the Mother and the Son, in this supremely happy moment, became spirits, and without the slightest difficulty Jesus emerged from the Mother’s bosom, both of them overflowing with an excess of Love. That is, these Most Holy Bodies were transformed into Light, and without the slightest obstacle, Jesus’ Light emerged from within the Light of the Mother, both One and the Other remaining whole and intact, returning then to their natural state. But who could describe the beauty of the Little Baby, who at the moment of His birth shone with the rays of Divinity even through to the outside? Who can tell of the beauty of the Mother, who was completely absorbed by these Divine rays? And
“Come, come take your Beloved, and delight in Him also and show Him your love,”
As She spoke I drew close to the Mamma and She put Him in my arms. Who can describe my happiness, the kisses, the hugs, the tenderness I showed Him? After I showed my love for a while, I said to Him:
“My Beloved, You have nursed the milk of our Mother, give some to me.”
And He, quite agreeing, poured part of this milk from His mouth into mine, and then He said to me:
“My beloved, I was conceived in sorrow, born in sorrow and died in sorrow, and with the three nails that they crucified me, I nailed down the three powers: intellect, memory and will, for those souls who yearn to love Me, allowing them to remain drawn completely to Me, because original sin had rendered them weak and scattered from their Creator, without any restraint.”
