Easter reminds us of the Calvary where Christ Jesus was crucified.
It reminds every Christian of the agony and shameful death Christ passed through to reclaim man from eternal destruction.
On Easter period we come into sober reflection of the actual reason why we should celebrate it even more.
To the feeble minded, it is business as usual, where we cook rice, kill goats, cows, chicken and celebrate without knowing the reason or significance of it all.
But to a believer, Easter and Calvary signify the love and care God has for mankind by sacrificing his only begotten son to die for our sins in order to make us be complete in Christ and share in his goodness and glory.
Annalistically, it is a period of a call for repentance and for everyone to wake up and carry his/her own cross. It is a call to make fishers of men by preaching the good news to people.
Calvary call is equally a call to accept Jesus as our Lord and Personal savior.
Most importantly, it is a call to draw nearer to God so that we will be considered worthy to inherit the kingdom of heaven.
The making of Calvary is to save mankind from bondage of Satan so that we will be called the sons of the Most High God.
Easter is a period to be happy and the happiness be complete because Christ had died with our problems, poverty, failure, sickness and infirmities, and has given us good health, abundance and long life.
Therefore preach the message of salvation to the world that Christ was crucified for us all.
Remember, at last Pilate handed Christ over to them as they requested the release of a common criminal named Barnabas and demanded that Christ be crucified.
They stripped off his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. They made a crown out of thorny branches and put it on his head and mocked him, spat on his face, hit him with sticks and led him away to be crucified at a place called Golgotha. They offered him sour wine mixed with bitter substance, but he would not drink.
