Easter What??

Ok, so I was making a sign for our store's door to let people know we'll be closed on Easter Sunday. I entered the word "Easter" into the clip art search box of Microsoft Publisher, and 99.99% of it was eggs and bunnies. Cute, but I immediately asked myself, "Where is Jesus?" Yes, I'm all about Easter baskets and getting people excited about Easter. Coloring eggs is still fun to me. And I think everyone should get Easter candy :). Don't get me wrong, I love Easter celebrations, and have the utmost respect for anyone involved in celebrating Easter!

However, I will ask you - Where is Jesus?

I grew up in church. You may have too. Yet, I read that only 20% of only the American population goes to church each weekend. So, what happens to this generation's kids? When they're older and go to make an Easter sign, will they even question what they find?

It's deeper than this. What do you believe in? Do you act on what you believe. Get ready for a cliche phrase.... actions speak louder than words. Do you share what you believe? Do you do what you believe?

I encourage you to research more about Easter. I hope you find more than you already knew. You'll find amazing facts about Jesus that may make you cry. I hope they remind you about what this season is all about. Delve into the scriptures and ask God to show you something new this Easter season. Please look up the word "crucifixion." Read all about it; I pray that it opens your eyes to a whole new meaning, and God gives you a revelation of what Jesus actually went through to save YOU from hell.

Also, you may find that eggs and bunnies do have a significant meaning. :) Who knew? I'd like to share those meanings with everyone, so the next generation does think of Jesus when they see and celebrate with Easter eggs.

I won't be giving you the answers :) so, please comment below to let us know what you find!
