Fluffy baby chicks in shades of sunny yellow, snow white bunnies with soft pink noses, beautiful baskets filled with pastel eggs and an assortment of other fun surprises including...... Chocolate!!! These are just some of the symbols of Easter - at least symbols to the world.
What are our symbols of Easter?
- The rugged, splintered cross against a stormy sky.
- A crown made of sharp, protruding thorns covered in blood and tangled with strands of hair.
- Spikes - long enough to fasten flesh and bones to wood.
- Tear-stained faces of family and devoted friends; eyes red and swollen from grief and pain.
- A borrowed tomb carved from a rock where they laid his lifeless, battered body - lovingly wrapped in clean linen cloth.
- That same tomb - EMPTY! Our Savior - the sacrificial Lamb - has overcome death and He is alive!!! This is our symbol.
Celebrate our greatest hope this Resurrection Sunday. Jesus is alive, therefore we have hope of eternal life as well. Join us as we worship King Jesus.
(John 11:25-26) "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
