Easter

This coming sunday is Easter. The week actually leading up to Easter is events that occured right before Jesus was hung on the cross. On Easter sunday was when he rose again. What does this mean to people today? As Christians we should all being going to church and thanking God for letting his son die on the cross for us. If Jesus did not do this then what do you think our world would really be like. So as Christians we should especially be in church. However people who are not Christians still go to church and still participate in church activities. I believe that they feel obligated to do it because their ancestors did it or it is just "the thing to do". It might be a good thing because they can go and hear what the Word says.

Today, however people have changed Easter's meaning. Little kids all over the world see that Easter is another holiday to get what they want and eat candy from the Easter bunny. I believe that is so wrong. I mean yes, we can still have fun on this holiday but we all can not lose site of what this holiday truly is. I believe the media does not help any either. You have commercials all over about kids needing to come see the Easter bunny and for parents to come out and by candies and gifts. I believe as Christians we need to show the world that Easter is not just about materialistic things however it is about the death of Jesus Christ and then Him being raised again. Also we need to continue to share our faith with others. Yes, everyone still can have fun but we still need to intergrate and incorporate our faith in it.
