Taste and See
Easter baskets are filled with tasty treats! A ‘treat-feast’ if you will.
And in most, it is not uncommon to see the ‘Easter Bunny’ immortalized in chocolate!
How do you eat your chocolate bunny? What do you eat first?
While worthy of debate, the point is, you have to break it to eat it!
The necessary broken-ness of a chocolate Easter bunny, so that I can enjoy a ‘chocolate-feast’, points me to the necessary broken-ness of my Lord Jesus Christ, so that I could enjoy the feast of riches of God’s grace, His gifts of forgiveness and eternal life!
I Corinthians 5:7b tells us that Christ, our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. Isaiah foretold that God would swallow up death forever and make for all people a ‘feast of rich food.’ Isaiah 25:6-9 He did that through the death and resurrection of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.
Very early on that first Easter morning, the sun rose in the sky. And the Son of God rose from the grave. Malachi 4:2
The Bible tells us an angel told the women visiting the tomb that Resurrection morning that Jesus was ‘going before them to Galilee, and there they would see him’. Mark 16:1-8
Jesus has gone before us too, to prepare a place for all who would ‘taste and see’ that He is good Psalm 34. He offered His broken, crucified body that we might enjoy His goodness and mercy, His feast of grace.
How will you seek Him this Easter? Taste and see that He is good!
