Fine, a lot of Christians don?t believe Christ died on Friday. Even more Christians think that there shouldn?t be a special day marked out for remembering the Lord?everyday should be saturated with thanks giving and praise for what He has done. I applaud those who point out the pagan practices inherit in Easter versus the truth of the Lord?s crucifixion. It still saddens me that I?ve looked across several God-bloggers and have seen more focus on Terry Schiavo than Christ and what He did.
Don?t get me wrong?pointing out the World?s hypocrisy in this case is well and good?but this is a time of year where Christians should be waving the banner of the Crucified and now risen Christ. Here then are several links which point to Christ for introspection, reflection and encouragement.
