Many of us grew up celebrating Easter as the holiday where a cute bunny rabbit brought chocolate and treats for everyone to eat. Now don’t get me wrong, I’d be lying if I told you there was no candy involved in my Easter weekend, but that’s not what it’s all about. Easter is actually the greatest love story ever told. Mankind was lost – headed for destruction, but because God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will never die & have eternal life. And like the good Shepherd, Jesus laid down His life for the flock. He didn’t have to – but He did. That is why we celebrate - Happy Easter.
Christus resurrexit de mortuis, morte mortem calcavit, et entibus in sepulchris vitam donavit.
