The Greatest time of the Year!

I think Easter has to be the greatest time of the year. It is brilliant that in this country Good Friday is still given as a bank holiday – it gives Christians the chance on this day to be able to reflect on the Christ who went to the cross for them.

It is the time specifically where we remember how Jesus suffered at the hands of those He had created so as to bring them back in to relationship with His Father. It is the time where we remember that Jesus died as our substitute and gloriously took the full wrath of God for all our rebellion. It is the time where we remember that He was gloriously raised to life on the third day to be the first fruits of the resurrection for all who put their trust in Him. It is the time where we remember the greatest act of love in human history bought about by the greatest crime in human history. Surely nothing can be greater than to remember these most glorious of all truths. It is great that so many countless amounts of Christians up and down the country and across the globe will be able to focus on these things this easter.

A great new song came out recently by a band called Starfield and it focuses all on the love of our Saviour and what the first Easter achieved. It is a great song for Easter time. I urge each one of us to reflect on the mercy of God in Christ over this Easter and to rejoice at His love.

What mercy was revealed
What selflessness and peace
My fate was surely sealed
Until He rescued me.
His pardon for my sin
His bounty for my need
From slavery and shame
I am redeemed

And Heaven can’t contain
The glory of the Son
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One
His love has made a way
The grave is overcome
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One.

No fear can hold me down
Nor darkness steal my joy
For blood has been poured out
The enemy destroyed
Death could not hold Him down
The cross was not enough
To steal away His throne
For He is God

Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved
Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved
