Easter- Bunny or Jesus
It was just another beauiful day in Baltimore with the sun shining and a light breeze blowing in from the west. Most of our friends in other places had been in church that day but the friends we had coming to our cookout were not among the crowd dressing up to celebrate the ressurection of Christ. Instead of dressing nice, going to church, and having a ham, we met in the local park, had burgers and hotdogs, and had an easter egg hunt. Over the course of the morning we shared some of what Easter means to us and gave out a history of Easter explaining the bunny but more importaly Jesus.
It turns out that a lot of people don’t know why the church celebrates Easter. Many know it has something to do with Jesus but I think the resurrection has often gotten lost to those who don’t know much about Christianity. The great thing about the resurrection is that it gives us hope! The death of Christ without the resurrection is pointless, but with Christ defeating death we are given hope! And so, I love Easter. It reminds me that there is a God who has given me the hope of eternal life. A God who will restore my body and my soul. A God who not only died for me, but who lives for me even today!
