The simplicity of Easter

I woke up yesterday morning and the first thing I was asked was "Have you found any eggs yet??"...it caught me off guard because at 24 one would think I was too old for an Easter egg hunt, but I helped my lil' sisters search the house anyway and was reminded of what it felt like to be a kid again. There was something about the simplicity of the hunt that made me smile. It was also the same feeling I felt at church later that morning. I was caught off guard and realized the true simplicity of what the Gospel is all about. Being a Bible College student teaches you how to examine a verse in 40 different ways and learn the true meaning behind the original Greek but it can also cause one to lose sight of the simplicity of the Gospel. Watching people stand up in response to a call for salvation brought tears to my eyes and I was reminded that that's what it is all about... It doesnt matter how much Greek I know or how many verses I have memorized...all that matters it is I am fulfilling the call of God and spreading the good news. I am thankful for the reminder that it really is that simple.
I found this picture yesterday of my very first Easter Egg Hunt and was reminded of the joy I felt, although I was only 3 I remember it vividly...the excitement, the colors...the simplicity :)
