And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Matthew 28:5-6
One week til Resurrection Sunday the day Jesus Christ after suffering a horrible flogging and crucifixion was risen from the dead just as He said. This is not bunny day, daffodil day, spiral ham day but a day to rejoice that our savior came back to life and is alive today!
Even non believers know there is something significant about this most Holy day. The traditions like wearing new clothes and an ‘Easter bonnet’ are all fine and good but I am not sure how a bloody death on a cross is commerorated with all the frills.
Tell children about Jesus. There are ways to make it appropriate depending on age level. I have a display on my mantle of an open tomb with an angel and a cross. Pray that those you know far away from God will fall on their knees in repentance on this day reflecting all Jesus did to forgive our sins.
PRAYER: Father I love you and thank you for this Easter week and all it means. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
