What Is The Meaning Of Easter?
Christians, who celebrate Easter do so as a means of commemorating the event that happened in history, over 2000 years ago. It is held on the premise that God, came in the form of a man, Jesus to save the whole world from their sins.
The life Jesus lived on earth was to meet all the requirements to be the perfect and ultimate sacrifice to save the world from sin.
What this means is that man will not have to atone for sins with the blood of rams, goats, and oxen. Instead, anyone who comes in the name of Jesus, believing He died and resurrected from the dead, shall be saved from his or her sins (Romans 10:10).
What is the Significance of Good Friday and Easter Sunday?
As you celebrate Easter, know that Jesus paid the ultimate price of sin, which is by being beaten, bruised, and crucified on the cross of Calvary.
Although He was God himself, for his love for man, He took the shame and died the death of a criminal.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2Corinthians 5:21
That exact day Jesus suffered death is regarded as Good Friday. It is not a bad Friday because it was for the good of mankind. The third day after his death was when He arose from the dead. This is what is known as Easter Sunday.
Series of events led to the death and resurrection of Jesus. All of the events are being commemorated up to date. For instance, Lent, Passover, and Palm Sunday are all events that got culminated in the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ called Easter.
How Should Christians Celebrate Easter?
Are there any identified ways to celebrate Easter? While there is a lot of fiesta and jamboree concerning Easter, it essentially should be targeted at winning souls for Jesus.
If you have been saved by Jesus, it’s only proper you help another get saved by telling him about Jesus.
