Why on earth would we celebrate Easter? And why in the world would we let
our kids believe that there's an Easter bunny? Finally, why would we decorate eggs with little kids and then hide them,
and encourage those same kids to hunt for them?
Because our Easter celebration is a cue for the wee ones--and for us older ones--that something special happened.
Not only does our celebrating Easter let the kids know that something extraordinary happened, but it's also our opportunity to tell the children what happened that makes the day so special. However, if we leave it at the finding of eggs, eating a bunch of chocolate
bunnies and marshmallow peeps, and getting a huge stuffed animal, the
real meaning of Easter Sunday is lost.
God demonstrated His undying love for us by coming to this world and dying in one of the ugliest ways imaginable for our sins so that we could live. Easter is our way of celebrating the fact that God was resurrected on Easter Sunday,
three days after dying. We celebrate the Lord's victory over evil on
Easter Sunday.
If we leave the true meaning of Easter out of our celebration, however, then the real reason for all of the hoopla on one Sunday in particular will be lost; there's really no reason to celebrate
on that day.
This Easter, celebrate loud, celebrate proud I say: Tell everyone that'll listen what God did for you and for them. If you've wandered off the straight and narrow path, recommence your life in Christ by first celebrating His resurrection with the rest of the believers, and then by making the commitment to follow Christ Jesus always.
