03/30/18 FROM 2013 (still a good post)
None of Christs followers in the Bible ever said, "Happy Easter."
They celebrated The Lamb of God (Who died to take away the sins of the world); they did not celebrate a rabbit (a pagan symbol of fertility).
They celebrated The Cross (stained with the blood of atonement); they did not celebrate colored eggs (a pagan symbol of fertility).
They celebrated Jesus (physically raised from the dead); they did not celebrate Ishtar (the pagan fertility goddess).
They did not confuse the children with pagan ideas or blur the work of Christ with pagan symbolism.
It is not a myth,
it is not a religious distinctive.
It is the whole reason for our hope in eternal life.
HE IS RISEN.
