COUNT DOWN TOWARDS EASTER CELEBRATION

in #religion7 years ago

The story was told of a man born 2000 years ago who lived for 33 years but affected his generation and many generations after him. He was born to a family of low esteem, nothing was said about his mother's profession, we were only informed about Joseph being a carpenter.

His up bringing was normal, he attended to domestic work like other children in the neighbour hood until he marked his 30th birthday and decided to venture into his destiny. All the years of his apprenticeship as a carpenter, he did not loose sight of the purpose of his existence like some do in our days and time.

He spent the rest of his life affecting the world. Come to think of it, he spent 30 years preparing for a mission of 3 years but beyond the physical 3 years, generations of 2000 years after still enjoy what he laboured for, this is amazing.

At the expiration of his earthly ministry, he was betrayed by one of his close associate and killed. Do you know something deep, his death was purposeful, to bridge the gap that had existed between man and God.

He did not only died, he rose again after three days that he had been buried. This is great.
In a couple of days from now the whole world will be celebrating the Resurrection of this man of Nazareth called JESUS

I wish all Happy Easter celebration and hope that the purpose of Christ coming will be achieved in our lives.
