Happy Easter to you and yours…
WHAT IS THE Meaning OF Easter?
On Easter Sunday,
Christians celebrate the resurrection
of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches.
Christians believe, according to
Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three
days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of
Jesus Christ by crucifixion
is commemorated on Good Friday,
always the Friday just before Easter.
Through his
death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing
for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.
EASTER IN THE BIBLE
The
biblical account of Jesus' death on the cross, or
crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection,
or raising from the dead, can be found in the following passages of Scripture:
Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30.

Easter, like
Christmas, is a tradition that developed later in church history.
