When my children were little, we were all very excited about Easter—mostly because they associated that day with Easter egg hunts, chocolate candy and marshmallow bunnies. And who can forget about Cadbury Eggs! Honestly, as a mom of little ones, it was easy to get caught up in the fun and festivities that come with the celebration of Easter. But, looking back now that the children are grown, I realize that I missed the opportunity during Easter to teach my children to better understand Christ’s sacrifice for us.
Now that I’m older, I’m taking a moment to reflect—what does Easter mean to ME? It had been so long since I really thought about the true meaning of Easter that I realized I needed to go back and really explore my personal relationship with Jesus and his crucifixion, death and resurrection. Easter is more than dying eggs and eating jelly beans. It’s time as Christians to practice love and thankfulness to Christ for His ultimate sacrifice for us. Peace and blessing this Easter season.
