Happy Easter

Today is easter, but I can't see anything special here in Korea. Good Friday and Easter is not a public holiday here in Korea. But still we have to remember that today is a very special day for human kind, because on this day Jesus Himself died in the cross 2000 years ago to save the world from sin, sickness and any bondages.
Easter message today in the church was very interesting. A question of why Jesus, on the day he was crossed in calvary, did not come down and kill all the soldiers (Mat 27:29-41). And even the soldiers said that, if Jesus can came down from that cross and release himself, they will believe in Him. And I think, why shouldn't He came down and show them so that they can believe Him. It was not that He lost his authority or it was not that He can't order the angels to attack all the soldiers and came down from the cross. On that calvary, it was not the soldier feeling sorry for Jesus live but it was actually Jesus who felt sorry for the soldiers live. Maybe if Jesus came down from that cross, the whole Israel believe in Him on that day. But He chose to die on that cross so that people all around the world can believe Him and can feel His sacrifice and LOVE for us. He died on that cross to set us free from our sin and so that we can live.
