Scott Travis: Easter means I am restored

For years, even after I accepted Christ and became one of his followers, I could scarcely look directly at a cross for too long without being overtaken and defeated by the feelings of guilt, shame, and hopeless sorrow. All of those things would have been mine to bear for eternity had it not been for Christ, his cross, and resurrection – what we commonly refer to as Easter. So what has changed that now allows me to be able to talk about Easter more freely without being defeated by all those old nightmarish feelings?  It’s a day-by-day, hour-by-hour, second-by-second growth in my understanding of the Easter event itself. I’ve learned how it applies to me in a practical way. The power of Christ’s work at Easter is so great that there is no sinner in all of creation who cannot be fully restored. For me, that makes life worth living.
