The Real Easter

For many people, Easter is a time of newborn chicks, the Easter bunny, and chocolate eggs. These are all good things, but this image has been ‘photoshopped’ away from the real Easter. On the first Easter morning, the women who took spices to anoint the body of Jesus found His tomb empty. When they first told Jesus’ disciples that His body was gone, the disciples didn’t believe them. It must have seemed too good to be true! Yet the reality of Jesus’ resurrection changed His disciple’s lives, and it has enormous implications for us as well. This should be the centre of our Easter celebrations.
