How many people do you know who search the planets for new life. What scientific club have you seen or read in the paper who is searching the heavenlies for extra-terristrials, also know as aliens. They are continually watched by the millions-but there is one great event in the worlds history that commands far more spectators than watching the moon, searching the planets or observing the heavenlies. There is one great event, which every day attracts more admiration than do the sun, moon, stars or the planets that faithfully keep their course. That event is the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To that event the eyes of every saint is directed and commands their fullest attention. Upon Christ the angels in heaven perpetually gaze. Upon Christ, if we look backwards through the centuries every saint that has ever lived have their eyes fixed upon Christ. The resurrection commands that much attention. It is upon that singular event that God himself was so pleased that he could receive his created but separated worshippers. Millions of the redeemed pilgrims, whose tear path we can only imagine have no higher object for their faith, and no better desire for their vision, than to see Jesus as He is in heaven sitting at the right hand of God.
Reader you are not a solitary spectator of that horrible Calvary and its bloody crucifixtion. All the universe turns its eyes to that place which is the focus of heaven's joy and delight, the cross of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This Easter week take some time to visit Calvary. Let's hope to have the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit while we look upon Him who died upon that tree. Think, today of the cause of Christ's death. Reflect for a time this week on the reason for Christ's death. Lastly, think of the wonderful benefits of our redeemer's death. Happy Easter! He is Risen....He is risen indeed!
