Celebrations

 Like Christmas, Easter is celebrated at different times then the original event. But? We celebrate the Christ, the world does their thing. So? Let the world have their Winter break and Spring break, But we shall celebrate the true meanings. Jesus does not need one day, he wants all of our days. As Paul wrote:  

Gal 4:9  But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Gal 4:10  Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Gal 4:11  I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Col 2:16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Well said.....Super
   Easter; A. K .A. Resurrection Day should be something we consider every day. Jesus rose from the dead. All the other pretenders are laying in their graves. Not only did He just rise up from the dead; But..He [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].Colossians 2:15 AMP
   When Kings conquered nations, the victorious king would take the defeated king and put him and his army in chains. Then this captain of the host would lead that king and his army, stripped of armor, naked, without sword, or shield, in chains, back to parade them before his own king. He would bring back the spoils and the evidence that he had conquered this king and his army and all of his kingdom.
   Jesus our victorious King, went down into the dark regions of hell. He conquered Satan and all the demonic forces. He chained them and disarmed them. He took off all their armor off and paraded them out in the spirit world before the angels and before God, the Father, and made an open display of the fact that they have been defeated eternally. It is that defeat that is our victory today.
    8Therefore it is said, When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive [He led a train of vanquished foes] and He bestowed gifts on men. 9[But He ascended?] Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had previously descended from [the heights of] heaven into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth? 10He Who descended is the [very] same as He Who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest). Eph. 4:8-10....And THEN He gave us gifts!
   Great teaching the other night. May God give you even more wisdom and revelation & knowledge of Him..Supply and Multiply In Jesus Name. ybic,spac
