Do we know the meaning?

The holiday is almost here but do we know what it's all about?
Really, what is Easter to us?

Is Easter...

• Rainbow colored eggs or the Resurrected Christ ?
• Chocolate coated bunnies or the Confidence Call of Believers?
• New clothes on Sunday or New Challenge to the saved?
• Finding the most eggs hidden in the bushes and grass or focusing more on eternity and Heaven because there's an empty grave?

Easter is the Day of Victory! Jesus rose from the grave victorious! Friends, our Savior lives!

A recent Barna survey (March 15, 2010) reports, "Those who articulate a resurrected-related concept of Easter are no more likely... to invite friends to worship with them on Easter."

Do we know the meaning of Easter? Are we losing the battle because we do not share the truth of the Gospel; Christ arose! Jesus Lives!

Lord Jesus, like the faithful ladies at Your tomb that glorious Resurrection morning, help us to seek You early. Challenge us to know with confidence in our hearts that Your grave is empty, that You were victorious over death, that You rose again for us. Lord, help us to be bold witnesses for YOU. In Your name, Amen.

Read John 20!

John 20:1 "Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb."
