Easter - What Is It Really About ?

As we approach this Easter Sunday I pray we will not get wrapped up in the world's celebration of Easter. I pray that we will each remember why we celebrate this Sunday each year. It has nothing to do with a bunny, eggs, and candy. Easter celebrates the fact that we can meet the risen Christ and our lives can be different. For without the resurrection of Christ our faith is worthless. Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up - - if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! - 1 Corinthians 15:12 - 17
