Easter

To me as a child, Easter meant finding eggs and candy, eating with our family, and that dreaded bunny pic. As an adult, my view of this holiday has drastically changed.

I've always known the true meaning of Easter. I learned that in church as a child. But, to my secular parents, Easter was about the bunny stuff.

Every year since re-dedicating my life to The Lord, holidays have had more and more meaning. Easter is about so much more than baskets and bunnies. It's about God, who loves His people so much, that He sent his only Son to be born and to sacrifice His life on a cross in order to pay the price for our sins in death as well as fulfilling the prophecies through His resurrection so that one day we can go to Heaven to be with Him.

I want my children to know this!! The TRUE meaning of Easter.

"He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.” (Luke 24:6, 7 NLT)

Celebrate the true meaning of Easter this year, the Risen Jesus!!
