This Sunday is the Super Bowl (for Christians, anyway)
I’m not trying to be flippant about Easter. But, for Christians, this is our Super Bowl. Time to pull out all the stops.
Why?
More unchurched people are willing to come to church on Easter Sunday than any other day of the year.
So, put away the floral, pastel-colored, cliche clothing, and get real.
We need to show visitors to our church the real us. Not the prettified, giant-hat-on-Easter us. The real us.
We need to worship like it means something.
We need to serve like our life depends on it.
We need to love in the same way we are loved.
But most of all. MOST MOST MOST of all… we need to be joyful.
And don’t even give me that “but I’m not a morning person” crap.
Jesus of Nazareth, the Word made man, died for all people who were, are, and will be, so that we could be reconciled to God, the creator of the universe. Jesus rose from the dead to show that death was conquered. The Christ, the Savior, reversed the natural progression of birth to death, and was reborn. Reborn! I challenge you to get your mind around that today, because I surely can’t, and most surely never will.
Easter Sunday is a cause for celebration unlike anything you’ve ever been a part of. For Christians, Easter is our rebirthday. Christ’s sacrifice gave us a second chance we didn’t deserve. Gave the world a second chance it didn’t deserve.
Show your church’s visitors this Easter Sunday how glad you are. Make ‘em want what you got.
Oh, and the crux of it all?
We should be like this every day we draw breath.
