Butterfly

Do any of you know how a butterfly starts out?  First, it's a caterpillar...then it takes shelter in a coccoon...then breaks free transformed into a butterfly!

The Butterfly is one of the significant symbols of Easter. Its whole life cycle is meant to symbolize the life of Jesus Christ. The first stage, is the caterpillar, which stands for His life on Earth. Second phase begins from the cocoon stage, portraying the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The third and final stage is the butterfly, representing His raising from the dead in a glorified body and peace.

Jesus came to Earth as a man.  The soldiers killed him with nails on a cross.  Then, He did something that we all would have thought was impossible...kinda like the butterfly emerges from the coccoon...he came of the grave...ALIVE!!  ...and talked with His disciples...and went to live in heaven!

That's why we celebrate every day!  You may have things in your life that you think are impossible...but, Jesus really did what nobody else can ever do.  He took our sins with Him to the cross and left them there!  Through Jesus, all things are possible!!
