Happy Easter from Changing! Easter is a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and Christians around the world come together to celebrate. (For the history of the holiday, check out our previous episode!) Easter is a powerful holiday with a powerful message, and the meaning behind it shouldn’t be limited to one day. In today’s podcast, Donald discusses five ways to celebrate Easter all year long!
Dedicate your life to Christ.
A church leader told Donald, “the only thing we can give to Christ is our will.” Christ gave up everything for us to have eternal life.
When Donald prepared for his two-year mission, he changed the books, the music, and the people he surrounded himself with to better reflect Jesus.
Look at your day-to-day life. Are these things conducive to you being a better Christian?
Take part in family history.
Family history is an opportunity to learn both about yourself and your ancestors.
When you can connect with the people before you, you get the chance to see the qualities of the people that ultimately shaped you.
Christ’s resurrection gave us the chance to have a physical body again, meaning you’ll get the opportunity to see these folks again.
Teach someone else about Jesus Christ.
The idea of Easter is that the apostles spread the message of Christ’s resurrection. How many times do we share that message today?
God encourages us to spread the gospel and his message, yet many of us fail to do this as frequently as we should.
Watch a movie or listen to music that carries Easter’s message.
Media focused on the story of God, Christ’s resurrection, or just God’s message are great sources to allow God to have a part in every aspect of your life.
Attend church each week.
We go to church so we can learn and become better.
If once each week sounds like too heavy of a commitment, start with once a month. Simply begin making an effort to improve your relationship with God, and the personal change will come with time.
