The “first easter” was more than 2000 years before Yeshua was born. Easter has zilch to do with Yeshua nor his resurrection. We have Passover for that purpose, and it is a celebration of his death, not his resurrection.
As Paul so clearly stated, “as often as you break this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till he comes.”
True that. Misnomer about Resurrection Sunday.
He is risen. He is alive.
I, we, proclaim His death (as payment for our sins) until he comes.
It is finished!(tetelestai) As an artist finished a work of art, or as a servant completed his duties.
1. Scripture concerning the Christ fulfilled
2. Our penalty satisfied in the law
3. The spotless Lamb of God sacrificed
4. Our debt (wages of sin) paid in full
5. The battle cry of the VICTOR: “It is finished!”
WOW! Our God is an awesome God.
