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!
