Easter Post

In my good friday post, I mentioned a story about a kid who turned into a mouse and had to die for them to get them out of a maze. Here's the rest of that story.
So the mouse/kid, who had done nothing wrong endured all that the evil mice could do to him, and he, though flawless and merciful, was killed. Why did he die? If you want to know, look at the good friday post.
The mouse was but in an enclosed apart of maze and then he shut in. When some of the mice went to anoint the body with spices, they saw that the maze wall was broken, and there was no inside. Outside there was an angel mouse who asked, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" He explained that he had risen and is not in the tomb.
The mice ran and told His followers that he had risen from the dead.
Alright lets stop the story here. I've kind of run out of ideas for this thing.
Why did Jesus/kid/mouse have to raise from the dead? What would have happened if he didn't? He wouldn't have been stronger than the world. I don't want to worship a God who can't conquer death.
So how do we treat a priceless gift like this? How do we react? The most Jesus could do is die for us. The least we could to is live for him.
