because of the cross: Easter is every day by ric Gustafson
I Peter 3:18 says that Christ also suffered. He died once for the sins of all us guilty sinners.
T S Eliot said that we call this Friday good. This same Christ walked the earth 2000 years ago. This same Christ performed miracles, healed the sick and cast out demons. This same Christ loved the unlovable, forgave the sinner, taught his disciples. This same Jesus was unjustly despised and convicted. This same Jesus hung dying on a cross one dark and terrible Friday. This same Jesus rose from the dead three days later.
Because of the victory of the cross, the joy of Easter is every day.
