Not About the Bunnies!

The Real Meaning of Easter

Amanda Lay
Easter is not about jelly beans, peeps or chocolate bunnies. The real meaning of Easter is far sweeter than any candy! Jesus loved this world so much that He took our place on the cross and died for our sins. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life," (John 3:16).

This Easter season, I am so thankful for Jesus' love and the wonderful gift of new life that He gave the world through His death and Resurrection. The Lord loves you! Happy Easter!

    Hi Jon,
    Easter commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead after He died on the cross for our sins.
