Easter is just days away! How crazy is that!? So I was thinking about writing about that today. But, I know some people think that story is over told. Because that is where we get John 3:16 from.
So then I thought why not write about the day itself, and how we spend it. To start, something so simple but powerful as Jesus raising from the dead, has turned into this day filled with eggs, bunny, candy, and the Easter bunny.
Yes, we go to church in our spring dresses and nicer clothes, some people have brunch after and spend time with family enjoying the good news of Jesus being alive. But is that what we are thinking that day?
Are we rejoicing that Jesus is alive? Or have we filled our minds with the Easter eggs that need colored. The baskets that need to be put out for the kids that morning. The meal that need prepared before family comes. The list could go on and on.
Are these things bad? No, but it's where our heart and mind are and why we are doing theses things. Easter could be the one day your friend that you have been asking and asking to come to church with you says yes. And their life could be changed forever on that one day.
The candies and eggs can be good too, it's just how we look at them. There are theses cookies that are called resurrection cookies that are a great way to tie the Bible story to Easter through cookies.
I hope you all have a great Easter and look at the day a little differently then you normally would have.
Till next time
