A thought hit me today....most people don't have a clue what Easter truly is. People all day said "Happy Easter" but do they understand how it came about and why we celebrate this special day? It certainly isn't for the bunny and the chocolate....something far greater happened hundreds of years ago that we need to remember every day of our lives...
"The meaning of Easter has gone astray in modern times. Many people only acknowledge it as a family gathering with an Easter egg hunt and a visit from the Easter bunny for the children. This isn't the meaning of Easter at all. It is a joyous occasion celebrated by Christians who know in their hearts and are willing to share with others the news of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf.
The meaning of Easter goes way beyond the physical attributes of the celebration, too. Easter is a time to renew one's faith and to feel the energy of Christ's gift in one's heart.
The true meaning of Easter is the gift of grace. We were undeserving of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made.
Jesus Christ and His resurrection is the true meaning of Easter."
