1 | Easter questions | Ex 12:2 | Hank | 40332 | ||
True enough, John. There is no day too sacred to keep the secular world from jumping in to make a buck out of it if they can find a way -- and they usually do. I went to a popular SuperCenter recently and must have seen a couple of million (well, almost!) "Easter" eggs, bunnies, baskets and other assorted novelties. It occurred to me that if Christians got as excited about what they celebrate during this season as merchants do about taking our money for Easter goodies, it might produce some eternal "goodies." --Hank | ||||||
2 | Easter questions | Ex 12:2 | John Reformed | 40334 | ||
Tim, I remember when I was a little kid, I loved Eastertime. My parents would hide eggs an my brother and I would search high and low to discover each and every one. Now I liked hardboiled eggs as well as the next guy, but it was'nt the eggs themselves that made for such excitement. It was the fun of it all. Later that morning we would be packed off to church to worship God and to thank Him for our salvation. The church itself would be decorated to symbolize the Resurrection. I liked it. It was really rather beautiful, even to my young mind. Perhaps that is part of the reason I become saddened when the term Easter is disparaged. What is in a name? How many children are decieved into idolatry because of a name? If a person considers it a sin to call the day Easter, then for him to do so is a sin. I do not. Grace and Peace, Brother John |
