Life’s Lessons that Easter teaches

What is the significance of this extraordinary event? What does it mean for how we live, work and worship? Here are some of life’s lessons that Easter teaches:

There will always be suffering in our lives. Things will go wrong, our plans won’t always be successful, we won’t always get what we want or pray for, our health will fail us. In these times, we remember God’s power over all things, we remember he loves us more than anyone else can and that he will help us through our difficulties, if we ask him to.

Easter teaches us to forgive because in Jesus’ death God forgave us our sins. We seek Gods forgiveness daily, we in turn must forgive others and not seek revenge or hold grudges. Even when he was on the cross Jesus prayed for those who persecuted him, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”.

When your friends fail you, remember Jesus was betrayed for thirty silver coins.
Never judge yourself as better than others. Jesus was far above his followers in every way but yet he served them. No problem was too small for him to notice, he walked miles to reach people in need. He helped them knowing they could never repay him.

Live a simple life, be grateful for what you have. God has chosen your life for you, and everything that happens in it. Accept the path you have to travel as his will and you will feel happy and fulfilled. Somebody else’s life may seem better but your life is perfect for you.

Pray at all times. Prayer is your inner strength because it keeps you close to God and when you are close to Him you have nothing to fear, no harm can come to you.
