EGGBLOG
When think of eggs, many people think of birthdays. Funny that eggs are also associated with Easter! In fact, it should be. Resurrection is greater than Birth, so Easter should rightly be more important than Christmas; strange some churches don't even celebrate Easter!
Remember the Apostle Paul remarked:"For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (I Cor. 2:2) It is so important that some religion denies Jesus's death. Paul further said:" And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins!" (I Cor. 15:14,17)
Read this following message from Dayspring:
The Cross — Understanding Your True Worth
Jesus walked on many roads during his brief time on earth. The roads He walked on led Him through valleys and over hilltops, they brought Him through crowded city streets and quiet villages, they guided Him to people’s homes and festive celebrations, but the road that led Him to the place of crucifixion was the one He was born to travel.
The Father watched from heaven as His Son, beaten and bruised, staggered under the weight of the cross on His way to a place called Golgotha. Jesus knew that this road was the only way that His love could find a place in our hearts. If God would have set a roadblock on this road and said to His Son, “Road closed,” we would never have found our way to Him.
It is Jesus’ journey to the cross and His crucifixion upon Golgotha’s hill that opens our understanding to the meaning of love at its deepest level. Salvation is our free gift that cost Jesus everything—His brokenness means that we can be made whole; His sorrow means that we can have fullness of joy; His rejection means that we can be accepted; His pain means that we can be healed; His death means that we can have life everlasting.
The devil has convinced so many people that they are worthless. Each of us needs to stop and remember the cross—at the cross we will discover our true value— for it is here that we discover the price God was willing to pay for us, the depth of His love, and how much we are worth to Him.

"and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, " (Eph. 1:19-21)
And now this resurrection power is in those who acknowledge Him as Lord ans Saviour!
The mystery of the Gospel is:"Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory!" (Col. 1:27)
May you also discover what I discover as the mystery of the Gospel that the power that raised Christ from the dead is now in you and me, working to bring us to completion at the day of Jesus Christ! (Phil.1:6)
Wow, what an explosive power. There is power in you! This is Easter power!
