I love Easter Weekend. The times I have been on
staff at various churches have been highlights of my
life. Maundy Thursday suppers, Good Friday services
and dramas, Sunrise services and Easter pageants have all helped
point me to the core of the reason for Easter.
My parents made sure we had Easter Baskets, candy, new clothes (to
this day I am traumatized with clip on ties and matching my
brothers), and all of the family fun Easter traditions like dyeing,
hiding and searching for easter eggs, but they always made sure the
focal point was the Ressurrection of Jesus Christ.
My prayer is that your family has a ball this weekend! but that you
always remember that it was Jesus' death on the cross and God's
resurrection of His Son that changed the world for all
eternity.
Do you know Him? Do you know why we celebrate this
weekend? I hope and pray you do. If
not-look to the cross......and to the empty tomb.
Happy Easter!
