I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL BE CELEBRATING THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE FOUND MOST IN THE CHURCH DON'T REALLY CARE, EASTER IS JUST FINE FOR THEM. TO THOSE I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESURRECTION. THOSE THAT THINK EASTER IS ACCEPTABLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF GOD, NOR DO THEY CARE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT ALL. FOR MOST THEY JUST WANNA HAVE ANOTHER HOLIDAY WHERE THEY CAN ENJOY THEIR DAY AND THEIR FAMILIES. FOR SOME THEY LIKE THE IDEA THAT THEY WILL GET AN EXTRA DAY OFF FROM THEIR WORK. SOME WILL ENJOY IT WITH DRUNKENESS AND ALL OTHER MANNER OF SIN. THAT'S WHAT PAGANS DO.
FOR THOSE THAT CELEBRATE THE TRUE RESURRECTION THEY DO SO WITH REVERANCE, THANKS, JOY AND HOPE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAD TO BE A CROSS BEFORE THERE COULD BE A RESURRECTION. THERE HAD TO BE A DEATH FOR OUR SINS. SOMEONE HAD TO PAY THE PRICE FOR MY SINS AND THOSE OF THE WORLD.
WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONE THAT DIED WAS OUR GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. AS GOD AND SAVIOR HE DEMONSTRATED HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER SIN AND DEATH WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD, BODILY. HE HAS GIVEN HOPE TO ALL THOSE THAT CALL UPON HIM FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THEIR SINS AND SUBMIT TO HIS AUTHORITY THROUGH FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE. WE CALL THIS SALVATION. AND BECAUSE OF THIS SALVATION WE SHALL LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER IN HEAVEN AND ESCAPE THE ETERNAL DAMNATION OF HELL. THESE ARE WONDERFUL AND SERIOUS THINGS, THEY ARE ETERNAL THINGS. THAT'S WHY WE DON'T TRY TO HIDE THE TRUTH WITH BUNNIES AND EGGS.
JESUS IS COMING AGAIN, AND FOR MANY YOU BETTER HOPE IT AINT DURING YOUR EASTER EGG HUNT.
