As Easter barrels around the corner, we are reminded that spring follows closely after. That is clearly something to celebrate right? The chirping birds, blooming flowers, calming rain showers, the promises that warmer air and summer is near, all very good reasons to celebrate. Easter and spring are also a time of nostalgia, as we get older we remember seeing the Easter Bunny, dying and hunting eggs, excited to see what was inside, and we make these memories with our families as we get older in hopes that they continue to make them long after we are gone, but does that all really matter?
Is the Easter Bunny and flowers really the things we should be celebrating and remembering this time of year? Or should we be celebrating and remembering the resurrection of Jesus, the reason for this time of excitement? We need to remember one of Gods greatest promises and celebrate that he did what he said he would do and continues to do that to this day.. We need to remember that God gave his only son so our souls could be saved and celebrate the grace and forgiveness he has for us. So when you're celebrating this Easter just take a minute and ask yourself, "Why do we really celebrate?" because I know why I do, but do you?
