Reflect on Easter
The real question is where did the Easter bunny come from? Think about it, we know where Santa Claus, St. Valentine and the leprechauns came from.
Every holiday has a theme and for some reason the holiday of Jesus Christ sacrificing all He had for us and dying on the cross gets the mascot of an Easter bunny.
This holiday for those who believe in God is a big one. Some argue the biggest one. Easter is meant to be a time for us to reflect on the greatest gift God ever gave us – His son.
This weekend is meant to be in memory of Jesus dying one of the most painful and gruesome deaths of all time.
Taking every stab, every whip, three nails and a huge piece of wood for us.
He is someone that never had to experience death, never had to experience human pain, never had to experience mortality, yet what did he do?
He died for us; for every single one of us.
Even though He saw every time each one of us would lie, even though He saw us in our worst moments, even though He knew there would be a time that we would turn our back from Him.
He still endured it and gave us the amazing gift of mercy and forgiveness.
This Easter, amongst all the bunnies and chocolate and overwhelming portions of candy, take some time to reflect on the grace that you live in everyday, and thank God for it.
