Easter's True Meaning to Me

Easter’s True Meaning to Me

Don’t you always love it when easter comes and you eat chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs (even though they make no sense, bunnies don’t lay eggs), and everyone has a good time talking about what they did last week and how funny it was. Have you ever thought about the true meaning of Easter?

About the man who saved us, who made us right? The one, the only, Jesus Christ who came to save us. Have you ever thought about Easter being more than just chocolate and seeing old friends and family? In this story I shall be telling you about what Easter means to me and also the true meaning to me.

This year when I celebrate Easter, I’ll be thinking about what really happened, what it was like and maybe have a few chocolates on the side. But what I think the true meaning of Easter is, is about the crucifixion of Jesus and when he rose on the third day. My family and I normally spend Friday morning in celebration, but also remembrance of what Jesus did for us. He died on a cross to take away our sins, and so now that he’s done that, we can be with him.

So this Easter, when you think about buying Easter eggs or going on an Easter egg hunt at the Auckland Domain, think about what the true meaning of Easter is. It’s still okay to eat chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs, or go and see relatives. But I encourage you to keep in mind about Jesus and the real meaning of Easter. Also, you could even tell your friends about Easter. How cool is that! So now that you’ve heard about Easter’s true meaning to me, what’s Easter’s true meaning to you?
