Don't forget why we celebrate Easter

What is pain? Feeling pain or distress of mind, having the feeling of hurt.

We have examples of pain. A women has pain giving birth. You have pain in your body and the doctors tell you it's arthritis. You have pain when a loved one passes away. You have a toothache or a headache with pain.

No matter what in this life; we have pain, like a knee replacement or a hip replacement. There is pain.

But we cannot compare our pain with Jesus' pain on the cross.

So when you're having surgery, think of your pain as small compared to His. Look at the pain Job went through with sores on his whole body.

We should never complain. We have it made in America. If you accept Jesus as your Savior, you will get a new body free of pain forever with Him. This is a free gift this Easter from God, who sent his Son to die for the sins of the world. It's what Easter is all about.

When you take Communion, you are taking the bread and wine in remembrance of His death and resurrection.
