The Easter Story: Why Did Jesus Die?

A long time ago, an old Preacher was taking a stroll; seeing one of his parishioners children walking down the street, he asked: "Why Johnny what do you have there?" Johnny proudly showed him a cage with two wild birds in it.

"Where did you get them?"

"I trapped them in a field." "What are you going to do with them?" The Preacher asked. "Oh, I think I'll play with them for a while." "But Johnny, after a while you'll get tired of playing with them, then what will you do with them?" Johnny thought a while then said; "well, my cat likes birds, I think I'll give them to my cat to eat."

Being filled with compassion and love for Gods creatures the Old Preacher asked the boy, "How much for me to buy them?" Johnny exclaimed; "But preacher these little birds are wild, not friendly, they're ugly and nasty, why would you want to buy them?"

But the Old Preacher just said; "How Much Johnny?" Johnny thought for a couple of minutes and said, "how about two dollars?" The Old Preacher gave the boy two dollars, and Johnny went happily on his way wondering why this senile old preacher would want two ugly, nasty, birds.

The Old Preacher looked at the birds, picked up the cage and opened the gate urging each one out to escape...

...Similarly:

Thousands of years earlier, Jesus was on the top of a mountain with Satan. Satan showed Jesus the image of the entire world, with every person in Satan's cage. He bragged how he had tricked Adam and Eve and gained possession of the entire thing.

"What Stupid Humans." Satan laughed. Jesus asked; "What are you going to do with them, Satan?"

Satan laughed; "I'm going to play with them." Jesus Said; "But after a while you'll get tired of them, then what will you do with them?" Satan said; "I've got it all planned out; I'm going to play with them, then I'm going to teach them how to Hate, Murder, Lie, Cheat, Commit Adultery, Become Homosexuals, Kill each other off by the MILLIONS! It'll be great. Total Chaos!"

Jesus, filled with love and compassion, asked; "How much for them?" Satan looked at Jesus incredulously and asked, Why would you want them?" "They'll laugh at you, spit at you, hit you, cut you, and probably kill you, are you insane? Why would you want them?"

Jesus just answered; "How much?" Satan sat and thought about this for a while and finally said: "All right, just remember the terms:

Your tears, Your sweat, your pain; your blood, your pride, and finally; your Life: ALL OF IT!"

Jesus meekly turned, picked up the cage, and opened the gate. Urging us out, one by one.

That's Why Jesus Died...

He set us free...

Then He Rose from Death; That's our Promise, Our Hope. Jesus is historical! He wasn't in some dark corner somewhere. Thousands knew Jesus, and so do we...

We had just finished our dinner, I went to the den and turned on the TV. She walked in and kissed me on the cheek, like a million times before. She said "Honey, I know it's late, but if you don't mind, my shopping's gotten behind, so I think I'll drive downtown to the grocery store." I didn't look up, just nodded ok, and asked her to hand me an ashtray. When she did, I reached over and squeezed her hand.

She left; I shuttered at the thought of my world without her. I reassuringly sought the touch of my wedding band, I felt better.

Well, I must have been dozing, because I didn't hear the door open. I thought; "That's strange, I've never done that before." I looked up, there she was, standing by my chair. "Kind of snuck in on me," I said. She smiled, and nodded her head, Gosh, she looked just like an angel standing there, my angel. For the longest moment, she didn't say a thing, she just caressed her gold wedding ring. I thought I saw a tear drop in her eye.

She said; "Honey? You'll never know how much I love you." And I thought of the many years that we'd been wed and replied; "No one can be as happy as I."

Just then, the strangest feeling filled the room: Not one of happiness, but of gloom. For the first time in my life, I saw sadness in her face. I reached out to touch her, she drew away, and told me, like so many times before, "Ours is a love, that time could never erase."

Suddenly, I thought I heard a thousand voices singing; but realized, it was the telephone ringing, that's strange. And I thought I saw a halo surrounding her pretty golden hair. I turned, trembling to the receiver. A cold voice said that there had been a wreck out on the highway; and I knew, when I looked back, she wouldn't be there.

Later; what could I say to my little girl? I knew Mommy had gone to heaven, Jesus proved by his resurrection (Easter) that we would conquer death.

I tried the best I could. I explained that Mommy was in heaven. Children sometimes don't understand. But as Christians we teach them the truth. They might not quite understand; but they do remember their parents instruction;

Hello Operator...
Is Heaven In The Yellow Pages?

Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,
My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.
Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part? I don't know where to look.

I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.
Maybe if I call her she will hurry home to me.
Is Heaven very far away? Is it across the sea?

She's been gone a long long time, she needs to come home now!
I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.
Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven?"
I can't read these big big words, I am only seven.

I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry,
Is your tummy hurting too? Is there something in your eye?
If I call my church, maybe they will know.
Mommy said, when we need help, that's where we should go.

I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall.
Thank you operator for your time, I think I'll give them a call.

He Lives and Grants Me Daily Breath,
He Lives and I Shall Conquer Death.
He Lives My Mansion to Prepare,
He Lives to Bring me Safely There.

He Lives All Glory to His Name,
He Lives my Jesus, Still The Same.
Oh the Joy this Sweet Sentence Gives,
I Know That My Redeemer Lives!!!

I thought you might like this gang; my friends out on the net.
Some of you I'll never know, some of you I've met.

Just remember; live life to the fullest for tomorrow we may be gone.
Smile, laugh, and say I love you, before this day is done.

When we're gone, loved ones weeping will feel so all alone,
But with Jesus' love, at least they'll know that finally we are home.

Though it seems so long, life is oh so short.
Glory is fleeting, arrogance is defeating, I prefer God's Court.

Have a wonderful Easter and Remember what I've said:
Then Love will be easy and your heart won't be queasy, when you lie in bed.
Always; You're Friend in Christ.
