Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time. ~Martin Luther
How could we even think that Easter meant bunnies and egg hunts? It is sad that the season has become a little commercialized when it is the most important event that tells us not only Jesus’s death and resurrection but His immense love for all mankind. What has Easter bunnies and candies and colored eggs got to do with the celebration of the rare beauty of a new life? Eggs are widely used to symbolize and represent a new life. It’s a symbol of rebirth. Some people use real hard-boiled eggs while others make do with plastic eggs filled with colorful candies inside.
It was a long journey, filled with pain, suffering and death. We could not even begin to fathom if we are worthy of such sacrifice, we could not even begin to fathom if we deserve to be given this beautiful gift of life despite our sins. Easter should center on remembering what Christ did for us. He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead . Sin and death. Darkness to light. A new beginning. What a beautiful message Easter brings!
A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER TO ALL!
