Easter is: Celebrating Jesus' Resurrection and Assention into Heaven.

Thanks to Jesus, our sins can be forgiven by God, our Heavenly Father, when we sincerely ask His forgiveness and try our best to avoid sin. All we have to do is think of whatever sins we've committed and apologize to God, ask Him to forgive us, preferably ask forgiveness of anyone it may have affected, and sincerely try to never do it again.

Having a close relationship with our Heavenly Father by talking to Him throughout our day, like a good friend or parent, will help us stay on the right track, in avoiding sin and temptation. Our being closer with God may cause Satan to tempt us more, though. So beware! If you see negative things happening in you life, it may be because you have gotten really close with God. All you need to do is get even closer to God and put it in His hands. He will help you and take are of you, answering your prayers, if it is in His will for you. God never breaks His promises.

None of us is sinless and none of us can stop sinning on our own, but with the help of the Holy Spirit it is much easier to avoid sin, if we just ask God to keep temptations away from us!

At Easter the multiplying bunnies, hatching eggs, and blooming flowers are symbols of New Life and that is what We Receive when we Believe Jesus died to take the punishment for all sinners.

God came down to us through His son, Jesus- and volunteered to be our sacrificial 'lamb'- They would sacrifice lambs back then, as the penalty for their sins- so that God would forgive them.

Now that Jesus has taken the punishment for us, we need to accept His payment to God by just believing He was crucified and died on the cross, and on the third day he rose from the dead, He decended into hell, then ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of His Father.

If we believe this and allow the Holy Spirit into our heart and soul He will guide us in the way God wants us to think and act. Before reading our bible we should ask the Holy Spirit to show us what we need to learn from that scripture.

The Holy Spirit is also God, as the son Jesus is. They are three in one (the Holy Trinity). By reading our bibles and attending church services, bible studies and Sunday school classes, we can learn what we need to know, to tell others about God, and what Jesus did for us!

We all can have Heaven on earth, until we sit at Jesus' feet when our time comes.
