Easter was that opportunity that God used to deal decisively with the problem of sin in Man.
Sin was the culprit behind the separation of man (who was created to always depend on God in whose image he was made) from God.
Sin was the reason man couldn’t reach his full God ordained potential. Man who was made to be honourable would now die like the beast in the field. He who was made to have dominion over all of God’s creation would now have death as his greatest enemy.
This was not the man God intended to have communion with him.
Sin is and has been the greatest undoing of the created man.
Sin was not first found in man, some angels first sinned and God cast them away for he who is the thrice holy God cannot withstand iniquity. But when man sinned, his choice creation, the one who although a little lower than angels was preciously chosen to carry his image, God became man.
He became man because man fell so that he can taste death for all men and conquer the problem of sin for all times.
In Easter we have victory, victory over sin and victory over death.
It is why the dead in Christ are asleep because they will rise again. Easter is that assurance that we have.
It is a dual hope, sin is conquered in my life and one day, death will be conquered too.
Praise the Lord Jesus is alive.
