The importance of Easter

(1 Corinthians 15:12-18, NIV): 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 

Whether one celebrates Easter on one specific day or not, we should be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ every single day of our lives!  He conquered sin and death for all of his people nearly 2,000 years ago.  Hallelujah!  If you trust in his death alone as payment for your sins, you too are among his people and free of your sins.  But if you do not trust in him alone, whether this be because you do not believe in Christ's resurrection at all, or whether you are trusting in Him + something in yourself, you are still lost.  In that case his death is not covering your sins, and I would implore you to repent and trust Jesus Christ alone before it is too late.  He will not cast out any who come to him (John 6:37.)  Today is the day of salvation.  To God alone be the glory.
