3 THOUGHTS AND MEDITATIONS PRIL 24, 2011 /24 DE APRIL PENSAMIENTOS Y MEDITACIONES, 2011 DE APRIL, 2011 Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter everyone! Easter is the most important religious holiday we celebrate as Christians. It marks the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savior who was born pure and free of sin; lived a sinless life and willingly suffered and died on the cross to save us sinners from eternal death that we may live life eternally with Him in heaven! This is a joyful celebration for us! Not only is He risen, but we receive the best gift of all through His resurrection - the promise of eternal life in paradise!

Esta es una celebración de gran alegría para todos nosotros! No solo por su Resurrección, sino porque recibimos el mejor regalo de todos a través de Su resurrección la promesa de la vida eterna en el paraíso! La Pascua es el tiempo de renacer y de un nuevo comienzo!
