Grateful for Easter Sunday because HE has risen! via /r/gratitude

Since Thursday night I have been thinking about what Jesus went through from what America observes as Good Friday to Easter Sunday.
15 years ago my parents went to Jerusalem and surrounding areas. My father told me it was very humbling to walk the streets Jesus walked carrying the cross on his way to a brutal death all for the sake of us and to take on our sin, something he had never knew.
This weekend as I adored all the blooms blooming, the lush green grass and leaves filling the trees, the beautiful birds chirping I think of what HE had to do for all of us to be able to see this. It is finished. Paid in full.
When I reflect on the hardships in my life I am thankful for now knowing that my hardships pale in comparison to what Jesus Christ accomplished. Praise You God my personal Savior!! Please everyone turn to HIM for he is the only way.
