So what does Easter mean to you? Is it hunting of Easter eggs? Pretending the Easter bunny is real? getting candy for no real reason other then everyone else does it?
Well every Holiday is celebrated for a reason. 4th of July our independence, saint Patrick's day, in memory of Saint Patrick one of the greatest missionaries to Ireland and national prayer day for missionaries across the world. Our birthdays in memory of our birth. New Years Eve the coming of the new Year. Christmas the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!
So what does Easter really mean? Today is Good Friday the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins! He is the Ultimate Sacrifice!! He came down to earth to die for our sins! how many of you really thought he died Easter day? I know I did! Really Easter day is when he Rose from the dead!! So when you sit down with your kids on Easter for the special Easter meal. what will you say to them? Will you tell them the reason for this celebration or will you continue to ignore Christ. And believe in false Idols? Will you tell them that today is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glade in it? Christ died on the cross for our sins and on the third day he rose from the dead. Maybe you should pick up your bible and read the Gospels to them. There are four of them Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John.
So why do you celebrate Easter? Just something to think about!!
