1 | Resurrection or Easter sunday? | 1 Cor 15:32 | EdB | 240223 | ||
Justme I can't speak for your pastor but if he is like every pastor I know he is faced with a two edged sword. How to make Resurrection Sunday special without commercializing it too much. Easter egg hunts and basket giveaways attract non regular attenders to church, that gives opportunity to share the Resurrection Story with people that might otherwise never hear it. What do you do? Stay high and holy and miss a world that might never hear the truth or offer a draw and take your best shot? Perhaps too blunt but I'm trying to contrast both edges of the two edged sword. Easter is what we make of it. If we focus our thoughts on candy colored eggs, Easter bunnies and such we are feeding our flesh. If however we reflect on the cross, the blood and resurrection we are feeding our spirit. Surely we can understand a little feeding of the flesh to see people become receptive to be spiritually feed. Even Jesus feed the thousands so they would stay and have their spirits feed. |
