πŸ”΄ Today is Easter Sunday... but what does the Bible actually say?


All over the world, Christians and non-Christians alike celebrate Easter — but very few understand what they’re truly celebrating.


The word “Easter” appears only once in the entire Bible — Acts 12:4.

And even that single appearance is misleading.


In most translations of the Bible, the Greek word “Pascha” is translated correctly as Passover — a sacred Jewish celebration of divine judgment and deliverance. But in the King James Version, Acts 12:4 translates Pascha as Easter.


Why?


πŸ”΄ The word "Easter" has pagan roots, not Christian ones.


Easter comes from Ishtar, the name of a Babylonian fertility goddess.

The timing of her worship coincided with spring festivals — and centuries later, it merged with the celebration of the resurrection of Christ.


So, how did it gain such prominence?


Though it appears only once in Scripture, that one mistranslation has now become a global title for one of Christianity’s holiest events.


πŸ”΄ Why aren’t we fighting the word anymore?


> "Well, thank God, it got arrested — and it's even now Christianized, so that's why we're not fighting it."

– Pastor Chris


Today, the power of its pagan origins has been neutralized in the Christian mind. The Church has reclaimed it, using Easter to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus. But it’s important to understand the real message behind what we celebrate.


πŸ”΄ Jesus is our Passover.


> “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you...”

(Exodus 12:13)


Passover was a night of judgment — and Christ is our Passover Lamb.

He took the judgment for us. When God sees the blood of Jesus, He passes over us.


Easter isn’t just about a bunny or a day off. It’s about judgment, mercy, and resurrection life.


πŸ”΄ The message of Passover is powerful:


✔ Jesus was wounded for our transgressions

✔ He was crushed for our iniquities

✔ He took our place in judgment

✔ He bore our sicknesses and diseases

✔ He brought us eternal life


πŸ”΄ He was rejected so we would be accepted.


He was the Word made flesh, the visible expression of the invisible God, and through Him, we passed from death into life.


> “He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief...”

(Isaiah 53:3–5)


His wounds became our healing.

His death became our life.

His sacrifice became our victory.


πŸ”΄ So, what do we celebrate on Easter Sunday?


We celebrate the Passover fulfilled.

We celebrate death defeated.

We celebrate resurrection life.

We celebrate Jesus — our Lord and Christ...... click on the link below to study the message:use your mouth to control your future by Pastor Chris

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
