Easter Explained

Is Easter about more than bunnies and eggs? Followers of Jesus celebrate His power of life over death on Easter Sunday. Are they right? Was He really raised from the dead?

Bible Quotes

1 Corinthians 15:3-6

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

You know bunnies and eggs and spring flowers are all symbols that you see around on Easter. They all represent new life. And they are all pretty cute. But new life isn't just cute, right? It's powerful. I mean when you really stop to think about what life is, it's amazing. Here is the downside though, if you follow each new life to it's natural conclusion, it all eventually ends up in death. But that's where Easter comes in. On Easter, followers of Jesus are celebrating not just new life, but resurrection life. The day Jesus came back to life from death. People around the world believe that the resurrection of Jesus really happened and that it was the ultimate victory of life over death. Not only that, but they believe that the power that raised Jesus to life is available to anyone. And it can change their lives as well. If they are right and if Jesus really was raised from the dead and offers that kind of resurrection life, I think that's worth looking into and worth celebrating. So have a happy Easter!
