Since becoming a Christian, Easter has definitely taken on a much deeper significance to me.
It's not about the Easter bunny, baskets, candy, or eating a yummy meal with my family. It's not about wearing a cute dress and going to church. It's about celebrating the amazing sacrifice that God gave for us - because he loves us that much!
This Easter, I am reflecting on the sacrifice that Christ gave for me, so that I will be able to live eternally with him. He wants a relationship with us because he loves us so much. I am overflowing with joy. Joy because I am celebrating his resurrection - he is ALIVE!
I am also saddened by the ones who aren't celebrating. They are so caught up in the commercialism of the Easter holiday that they are blinded by the true meaning. This is bigger than Christmas - it's the most profound Christian holiday there is. I pray that these people will have the willingness to want to grow in their faith and their walk with the Lord. And as they grow to know him on a deeper more intimate level, they will grasp the true meaning of Easter.
