Our churches are decorated with flowers. We gather with family for a yummy meal. We fill up plastic eggs with jelly beans or chocolates, even sometimes a few coins, and let the littles run and find them. There are traditions and Easter customs we all enjoy. If you so choose to attend church on Easter, it is likely you will sing hymns and songs. Rejoicing in the risen savior.
This holiday represents so much. Love defeats hate. Hope defeats fear. Sacrifice defeats greed. Mercy defeats might. Life defeats death.
When people of faith celebrate Easter, we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But we are also celebrating God’s great love for us, a love strong enough to defeat death itself. He loves you! Do you know Him?
