What is Easter?

I saw some Easter chicks for sale. Is this what Easter means?
Is it about the Easter eggs all filled with jellybeans?



Is Easter about hunting eggs? I do that every year.
Does it mean eating chocolate stuff? I ate my bunny's ear.



Is is about my brand-new clothes? And my new Easter hat?
Does it mean wearing shiny shoes? I really do love that!





NO!!
That's Not what Easter means.

Easter is much more than that. It's all about God's Son. See, God sent Jesus down to earth to die for everyone.

He had to die upon a tree, To save us from our sin. But He was only dead three days, And then He rose again!

Now that's what Easter really means! It's quite a special day. Jesus our Savior rose again. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Today He sits right next to God In Heaven up above. He wants to live inside you too and fill you up with love.

Okay, now I get it. The Easter bunny is okay and Easter eggs are fun. But Easter's not about that stuff...

IT'S ALL ABOUT GOD'S SON

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
