Bible Question: Here are a few questions, the answers and notes on which may help us all better to understand and celebrate this important season of the resurrection of our Lord. The word "Easter" is found in but one translation that is in common use? Which? What does Easter really mean? Do we actually know the time of year when the events of Holy Week took place? Who saw the Risen Christ first? What were His first words after His resurrection? How was Jesus different after His resurrection? How many people saw Him between His resurrection and His ascension? Were there doubters, even during this time? What about Easter bunnies and eggs? Do they have anything to do with the Christian celebration of Easter? Please do use Biblical references, but add if you feel moved, a brief witness of what this glorious event means to you. |
Bible Answer: I'll try to answer all of them, but I'm not promising! 1.Only in the KJV, correctly translated passover.(Acts 12?) 2.Easter was an idolatrous worship of a goddess for fertility(hence, eggs) (Ezekiel?) 3.I believe it was in April of our calender, but correct me on this one. 4.Mary Magdalene (John 20 or 21) 5.Woman, why are you crying(?) (Jn, next verse) 6.He wasn't limited by flesh, walking through doors and such (fill me in on the rest) (Jn 21) 7.the women, peter, apostles, two men on the road, paul, 500 others (tell me what I missed!)(Not even going to try!) 8.I am certain there were, but I've got no scripture in mind, fill me in! 9.Part of the idolatrous practice of Easter.(Ezekiel?) 10.No! (correct me if wrong!?) Sorry about the lack of more specific references, but that's alot a questions! Plus, I took this off the cuff, so I'm hoping you'll tell me how I did! Thanks Hank! GOD bless!! |
