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: To me the events that happen at Easter (Calvary) are pivitol to our salvation. Had not God sent the Lord Jesus to die we would still be in our sins or lost doomed for eternal damnation for ever. When I think about how they beat him. Isaiah 52: says that his visage so so mard that people actually dodn't know what He was. Could you imagine beat beat so bad that your loved one's cannot recognize you? I am so grateful to have come into the full knowledge of God's saving grace. Words sometimes cannot express my gratitude for such an act. Sometimes, I often wonder what is it about man. That makes God want to bothered (although I am glad that he still strives and tug on us). His glorified body after resurrection is also intriguing to me. Eventually we will have one also. Flesh and bones with no blood...Can you image..The blood in a body makes them alive basically. And now we will have a glorified one with no blood. I personally believe that the Easter Bunny is a tactic from the enemy to take away from the awesomeness of our Lord and Saviors death, burial and resurrection. I really don't have a problem with the Easter Bunny as long as parents are telling their children the real meaning of the season..... |
