Jason, as I read your devotion to Jesus this morning I am reminded that you know what it is to walk in the Valley but keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus, in a deep way. The hope we hold on to, in Jesus, is the hope that allows us to keep walking through the Valley. And not pitch a tent there but keep walking through. Blessings and love.
Are you saying we do not need to listen ti the Bible, Gods wotd & we can do whatever, whenever we want?
Because the Pope deciding to remove the Passover & insert Easter along with chsngung the day from a set day, Nisan 14 to a fixed Sunday based upon the Spring full moon gores against what the Bible says.
Did you read Daniel 7:25 “ He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.”
The Pope, a man, decided to change Gods word & Gods ordsined feast.
Thanks to both writers for focusing on Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Our society was formed as a Christian nation and as John Adams said, was designed to be suitable only for a moral people, so it is important that we remember that it is very American to keep Christ at the center of all things.
For those of us who do see the importance of being moral and are sincerely trying to serve others, we need to keep in mind Christ's caution that we are to be innocent as doves, but wise as serpents. The antisemitism that Mary Hudson is decrying on college campuses is a slander against a movement that is speaking up for peace and truth for the people, including Christians, our fellows in Christ, who are being bombed, starved, tortured and slandered in Gaza at this very moment.
We live in incredibly deceptive times. Corporate media has been willing to deceive us for decades. The government has been studying how to manipulate us and the intel agencies have been acting within media (Operation Mockingbird) and all facets of life such as the Jan 6 protests and probably most other protest movements (look into COINTELPRO and Color Revolutions). Social media is taking all of this a huge step further from truth by having an algorithm that raises or limits voices depending on the message and introduces armies of pretenders to make unpopular ideas seem popular.
In order to find the truth, we need to seek out perspectives from all sides remembering that God loves all involved and that justice can only be served when we are accurately informed and not letting our emotions and sin cloud our reason. While Jews are every bit as sacred as all other human beings made in the image and likeness of God, they are no more sacred than any other people. Christ does not call us to love in a way that allows hatred and injustice toward another. We are called to love all.
If you look in to the protest movements on college campuses, you will find many problems, such as broad brush blaming Christians for racism and slavery and thinking Europeans are uniquely oppressive and evil, but you will not find people attacking Jews for being born Jewish or for practicing Judaism. In fact, you will see that these protests have Jews well represented among their leaders and ranks. The question about the brutality of the Israeli government on the occupied Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, those in exile to other countries and those inside the land stolen and declared "Israel" n 1948 is a vigorous one within the Jewish community. When one side of the this debate claims to speak for all Jews and claims that the other side is driven by irrational bigotry against Jews, they are lying. When we repeat that lie, we are being used to deceive and make peace and justice less likely.
Thank you both for taking the effort to write the words above. The Resurrection is the pivotal moment in the history of the human race. People either embrace this truth and choose life- now and eternal, or they reject it, choosing the opposite. So grateful that the Current publishes the source of absolute truth, in addition to the truth about events , people and politics in our home town! Keep up the good work. God won the battle of good and evil on the first Easter Sunday.
What a surprise that, after Christmas Eve was used to honor genocide on this page, Easter Eve is being used to attack those who condemn genocide. What a way to honor Jesus! Mary Hudson does not seem very Christian in her shameful placement of this plug to advance her own agenda: "Which again has been rearing its ugly head of antisemitism in American Colleges and Universities this past year." You mean protesting genocide? Genocide is not Christian-like. And neither is this author.
I agree with you L Angel. I like these SB Current writers, Mary Hudson, Brian Campbell, Celeste Barber but I don't like the way they see anyone who criticizes Israel's counter attack on Gaza - which was over the top and not at all in keeping with the teachings of Jesus that I've read - as anti-Semitic.
I don't mean to be smart-alecky, but it stretches the bounds of credulity that Katy Perry (I Kissed a Girl) shared the same house with the author for her entire childhood. :)
Passover is always celebrated on the Hebrew month and day Nisan 14. Just like Independence Day is always July 4 th.
Passover is the first of the biblical feasts and part of God’s appointed times (Leviticus 23). It commemorates a specific historical and spiritual event.
It is not a floating holiday.
Easter is a floating holiday not in a set date, it is the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring equinox.
Why is the anniversary of such an important one, a floating date?
4 th century Codex Sinaiticus, the original Bible including new and Old Testament stated Paschua, Passover
1,300 years later
1,611 the KJV removed the word Passover and substituted Easter
1982 NKJV reverted back to the original word Passover.
155 AD the Bishop of Smyrna went to Rome to dispute changing from recognizing Passover to replacing it with Easter. He was killed by Roman’s for his faith.
325 AD – Council of Nicaea: Man, Officially replaces Passover with Easter, disconnecting the resurrection from the Hebrew calendar of Nisan 14 and set Easter as the Sunday after first full moon after Spring Equinox which was set to a fixed date of March 21.
Just saying, man tried changed and removed Passover from the Bible.
The title here is:
The most important day of the year.
I agree!
How about A bigger truth?
The most important day or event in human history!!!
Happy Easter 🙏

I’m grateful for this truth.
Not all of it is truth.

Easter is not attached to the date Jesus died.
No, it’s not. So what? The day on the calendar is meaningless. The moment is timeless.
Thank you for these Easter messages.
