I want to be clear ... Christianity is focused on the RESURRECTION. To be a Christian, you have to understand the death on the cross. It is there that Christ bore our sins and suffered death on Friday, in our place, for those sins. But that was not and is not the end. This is where the blogger was confused. I can certainly understand that confusion. However, Jesus rose on Sunday and that is what we celebrate on Easter. Our focus is on the risen Jesus, not the suffering. Had He not arisen on the third day he certainly would have been, as this blogger suggested, just a great man. His suffering matters because He arose. And, the light simply always overtakes the darkness.
The fact remains he suffered, he died ... he arose. Wearers of the cross remember that their sins are forgiven, but can only truly be forgiven by the risen Lord.
Happy Easter!
Blessings!

"Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." ' " Luke 24:1-7
