Well today is Easter Sunday 2005. This is the day that has been set aside annually to acknowledge and celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But as we celebrate on THIS Easter Sunday, I want you to know and understand that Easter is not all about the Easter bunny, hippity hopping along and brining chocolate eggs for you to forget about your New Year?s resolution diet. Easter is not about hiding Spring colored eggs over every inch of a yard, field or carpet for little children to lose their minds trying to find them. Easter is not about buying a brand new Easter suit, a new Easter dress, a new Easter hat or some Easter shoes. Easter is not about the "madness" sales at the local department stores. Let the truth be told, Easter is not even about a certain day and a certain time of the year.

Today we're going to back up a bit and look at when Jesus first entered Jerusalem. A day that is commonly celebrated in some churches as "Palm Sunday" (which traditionally is held the Sunday before Easter which is next week). When Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last week of his life, he was coming to the finish line. For this 33 year-old man, the last three years of his life had all been about one moment - the moment when he would look upon the many colored faces of the people who inhabit this world, and willingly give his life on the cross to pay the price for their sins. Everything was leading up to this...

In these closing words of his letter, John gives a warning to his readers. He tells them to "watch out" to be wary of those who deceive and what is not of the truth. It is in these words that we make the discovery that for those who are active in the truth, truth yields discernment...wouldn't you like to know the truth?

In order to experience the joy of truth in your life truth must operating in your life. Are you walking in the truth?

This first message introduces you to this series and to one of the greatest joys of truth. Truth brings freedom!
