Why Easter?
In so much as many have taken time to write on this subject, I felt it necessary to add to what has been written by more qualified preachers and writers….
Yes it is always said, “Jesus is the reason for the season!” True to that, but let me draw your attention to another hidden truth that The LORD showed me while preaching last week.
The Reason why Jesus came to earth, is the reason for the season!
It is pertinent to know that Jesus Christ didn’t come to earth for Himself, and for whatever reason He did, is important to Him!
Let me give you an analogy that may be helpful..
If an insignificant child in Redeemed Christian Church of God is celebrating his/ her birthday and Pastor E. A Adeboye chooses to be in attendance, his presence in the event will steal the day, and people will quickly forget about the child and give all the attention to the man of God.
But remember, he didn’t come for himself — but the child. It will be his duty to make people know the Reason for his coming!
In the same way, man is the reason for the season! Jesus Christ came for us — not Himself!
He tasted death for all men! (Hebrews 2:9) When He hung on the cross, it was not just His face the Lord saw but yours and mine!
When He was buried, we were buried.. When He went to hell, we all went there in and with Him thereby Tasting judgment for all….
When He rose from the death and walked out of the grave, we all did likewise in Him!
When He ascended on High, He took us also and when He sat in The Highest Place, we were also elevated far above all principalities and powers hence they are under our feet!
If this is true according to The Word of God, why then we pray thus: “Every power sitting on my head, die, die, die!”
While we celebrate the Jesus on Easter, let us therefore put into perspective that without us (humans), He would not have come!
You are important to God!
In fact, you are and has always been His number One from the beginning!
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” Hebrews 2:9.

I had a night vision about 11 nuclear explosions in 10 US cities the early morning of September 19, 1980 I sincerely had the vision and will share it with you if you will email me back at my email address: moedim97@yahoo.com
(continued) If the Friday to Sunday scenario was true He’d be a liar because He said no sign would be given and evil adulterous generation except the sign of the prophet Jonah (3 days & night) Passover teh 14th day 1st month) fell on Wednesday so as the day begins with sunset (genesis 1) Wed-Thu-Fri nights and Thu-Fri-Sat days and sunset SAt begins the 1st day of the week. That fulfills the prophecy correctly
I don’t celebrate the pagan feast of Ishtar/ Ashterah / Eostre / Semiramis/ Ostara also Isis / Inanna and related fertility goddesses. I grew up in an evangelical home (CMA, Pentecostal / AGC / Baptist/ Salvation Army and we grew up with these “feasts” . When I learned about the feasts of YHVH and their prophetic / eschatological significance and that they are commanded (they’re at least more scriptural than Easter and Saturnalia aka ChristmaS) I quit,
