Which is more important in your thinking, Christmas or Easter? Most people would say Christmas but both are equally important, because both were an essential part of God`s plan. Without Christmas, there would be no Easter--and without Easter, Christmas wouldn`t matter.

Christmas marks nothing less than the coming of God`s Son into the world. Christmas was only the beginning. Jesus grew up, first as a boy with His family, and then as a man. And when He began preaching, people flocked to hear Him because He told them about God`s love for them. In time, however, His enemies put Him to death on a cross, a cruel means of execution reserved for criminals. His body was taken down and put into a borrowed tomb.

But the tomb could not hold Him. When some of His followers came to the tomb later, they found it empty. An angel appeared (just as at His birth) and said to them "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; his has risen." (Luke 24:5-6) Death and Hell had been conquered, and our salvation had been won. This is God`s gift to us--the gift of eternal life through Christ. Have you recieved this gift into your life?
