For me Easter is so much more and I don’t think I can believe what I do, and not tell you about it.
- I believe the Jesus died on the cross because no matter how hard I try, no matter how ‘good’ I am I can never be sinless. I can never repent enough, make enough sacrifices, give enough money to have my sins washed away and go to heaven.
- I believe that Jesus was buried for 3 days, HE WAS DEAD.
- I believe that Jesus rose from the dead, forgiving all our sins and with faith, because of this we can go to heaven.

Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, Luke 24:1-8
