HE IS RISEN INDEED

“He is risen” “He is risen indeed”
As Jesus did thousands of years ago, we rose this morning. Of course, none of us are dead so we couldn’t rise from death but we got out of our beds at 5:20 on a cold morning so to us it was about as difficult. Something I realized about Easter is that people only rejoice Jesus’s victory when it starts to come around that time of the year. Parents say that their children need to behave because the Easter bunny will find out. Children behave extra well so they get extra goodies. Parents do it too. They act good in the church, do good deeds, and proclaim their good doings. I’ll admit, I do it all the time, every year, around the same time. What we need to realize is that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is something we must celebrate every day, with every prayer. Jesus Christ is risen, risen indeed. This we must celebrate with every living breath we had. We know this in our hearts but we don’t do it. The real question is, why?

-Each group took time to build a cross and on Good Friday we nailed our sins to them-
 
Happy Easter
This morning we got up at 5:00 and did our bed chores and morning chores. After that we went over to the people hauler at 6:20 and went into the back 90. Next we ate breakfast and got the Easter service started at 6:30.We talked about how Jesus was crucified and how he chose to do that for us and about how he rose back from the dead. After the service we all played a few games of bush tag. Then we started our adventurous Easter hunt. We bush wacked through the forest of the back 90 as we followed the clues. Finally, we ended up at the pavilion and won the race! Then we ate brunch. Today was a great day. But, not only was today fun, but I also learned a lot about Easter such as how Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Easter Sunday
Today we went to Hostetler Hammock and ate breakfast and had the Easter sunrise service. We learned that Jesus rose from the dead and died on the cross to save our sins. Then we played games in the Hammock while waiting for Chief Mike. Then we went on the hunt. The first spot was entrance tent. The next spot was the pigpen. Then we went to the horse barn but it wasn’t there so we went to the back ninety and found it there. Then we had to go to the Lake. We found it at the rope swing. Then we saw Chief Matt and Chief Curtis running for our other bag of candy. We had to grab it from them. We ran to the pavilion. Chief Jordan had to carry James halfway there. When we arrived, we ate our candy and ate brunch.

Happy Easter
Today was Easter! Today Jesus arose from the grave after three days of being dead. It is also a great day around camp. We play games, have good meals, a sunrise service and a great time with all of camp. The day is all about how God sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins. If you have not asked Jesus for forgiveness of your sins, you need to. His hands are always open for you. Romans 10:9-10: “That if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved”. If you don’t know where to start that verse should be the first. Always remember this day as the day for our savior, God! Have a good Easter!
