Why We Celebrate Easter

When we think of Easter What really comes to mind? Do we even think of Jesus Or colored eggs to hide and find. Easter is so much more Then dying eggs and eating ham This day is solely about The crucifixion and resurrection of the lamb It’s ok to eat your chocolates And it’s fine to buy that new dress Just remember this is about joy and promise Not who tries to look the best Over 2000 years ago Jesus was crucified By having his wrists and feet nailed to a cross He was then laid to rest in a tomb for 3 days Only to be resurrected by the big boss God proved to us then How much he loved and cared for us By giving his only begotten son Which should’ve been enough to gain our trust Now we have the choice to live eternally Because Jesus died for our sins When we confess with our mouth and believe in our hearts Our brand new lives can begin Good Friday represents the crucifixion And Easter Sunday represents the resurrection So we should be very thankful to the father and son And strive daily for their perfection So when you’re eating that ham, dying eggs And buying chocolates for your little one Just remember to tell the children That we celebrate Easter in honor of God’s son. Happy Easter!
