This morning my boss Graham Vermoteen spoke about his recent visit to America were he had gone to a Broadcasters meeting. In that meeting Mel Gibson the director of the movie "The Passion of the Christ" was honoured for making that movie. I hear he got a standing ovation and rightly so.
In his speech he mentioned the fact that since the movie had been shoot they have received tons of letters from all the world as people gave their feedback. Interestingly enough, he added, they still have not managed to get through half of the letters that they have received. The letters that they have managed to get through one thing that comes out oftein about the movie is the amount of violence in it. Hence as an Easter special they have cut out half the stuff that is deemed too violent. Well thats subject to debate I guess.
The reason why I write about this is just to remind you the great significance of Easter. The death of Christ for us. Forget the easter bunny, easter eggs and all that mumbo jambo. However you would want to look at Christ death the fact is it was the most gruesome and inhumane tortue that an individual has had to go through. All this as you probably know was just to save our own beacon.
Despite all this Christ conqured death and rose again. Whatever theories archiologist or the other, have come out with in qualifiying or disputing his resurrection. All that matters is the facts that only the heart can comprehend through faith. The fact that he died for us and rose again. So this Easter let it not just be another occasion that you take time out of work and do the normal easter routine of going to church or munching your Easter eggs like they is no tomorrow. Let it be a time that you apply the victory of his death and resurrection to all aspects of your life.
You have yourself a God filled and celebratory Easter. Keep it Tight 4real.
