Christ is Risen

Have you seen "Saving Private Ryan"?

Yeah, yeah, I know, not an Easter movie.  But still....

You remember the end, when the Captain is dying from his wounds, and Private Ryan rushes up to him?  And the Captain knows he's dying, so he looks Ryan in the eyes, and says...

"Earn this!"

Christ died for your sins. He died in the most horrible way imaginable.  And he spent time in hell, being tormented by his enemies in ways unimaginable.  And then he rose from the grave.  All so that you might have a chance to go to heaven.

Earn this.
