It is no mystery to the student of scripture that every book of the Bible has a little Easter running through it. Easter is all about love, God’s love.
The heart of Easter pre-dates creation. Before man was in need of a Savior, the God who loves enough to give us Easter was.
The need for Easter, however, can be found squarely in Genesis. When man violated the one rule God had given him, man’s perfect fellowship with God was broken. Easter represents man’s only hope, his one way back into that fellowship with God.
God is holy. He alone is holy. Sinful man* cannot approach or have close relationship with a holy God without dealing with his or her sin problem. Sin is an abomination to God.
Just as darkness and light cannot co-exist in the physical realm, so holiness and sin cannot co-exist in the spiritual realm.
The promise of Easter is found in Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
*For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10
