As we are still in the vibe of Easter, let us take a little moment to know, is Easter the beginning or the end ?
When Christ died on the Cross, the earth was filled with darkness which indicates our sins, the very reason for Christ's crucifixion. Then on the third day Jesus Resurrects with Glory which also implies, He is the light, the light which has overcome the darkness of our sin. Very clearly it gives us hope that in Christ Jesus we gain eternal life (John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but gain Eternal life).
Many of us might be thinking that Christmas is the biggest celebration of the Christians, isn't it ? But my dear friends if you're thinking this, you're wrong! The biggest celebration of the Christian is Easter where Jesus our Lord resurrects defeating the darkness of sin. Our Lord's crucifixion, death and resurrection is the sole reason why we celebrate Christmas.
That is why,
1. Advent is the time of Spiritual Sanctification while Lent is the time of Spiritual Mortification.
2. Lent is the time of cleaning while Advent is the time of decoration.

Easter is clearly the beginning, beginning of New Life in Christ. After nailing our sins to His Cross, for three days we wait in stillness for the Living God. After three days we also resurrect with New Pure lives along with Jesus. It is also the beginning of the missionary life of the Apostles (Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. "Baptize them in the Name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to observe all that i have commanded you. I am with you always, even to the end of the world").

So what are you waiting for?
Let's begin!

Jesus loves you.
