Every year, believers all over the globe, celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, commonly called Easter, is a big deal for many churches, we must understand that our Lord did not institute it. Our Lord only instituted baptism (see Matthew 28:19) and the Lord’s Supper or Communion or the Eucharist (see Matthew 26:26-29). Although the Lord did not institute the celebration of His death and resurrection, it’s not at all wrong for believers to commemorate these history changing events. In fact, without Christ’s atoning death and His subsequent resurrection from the dead, there would be no such thing as the Church.  Moreover, there would be no hope at all for sinful mankind regarding being accepted in the holy presence of the holy and the only true God of the universe. Yes, our Lord did not establish the festivities of Easter! But the believer in Jesus Christ can use the occasion to personally and prayerfully ponder the significance of our Lord’s resurrection! For many people, going to heaven is what they see as the greatest blessing or benefit of the resurrection of Christ. But for the genuine born-again believers, the Bible reveals that there are many blessings or benefits of the resurrection of Christ for them! Pondering them during the season of celebrating the death and resurrection will refresh our hearts and renew our love “for Him who died and rose again on [our] behalf” (2 Corinthians 5:15b).
