Story by Erin Holmes
We are about to learn, for the first time as a generation, that Easter is not about..
A new dress
A fancy hat
Coordinating outfits
Big hair
Floral prints
Eggs
Decorative crosses
A well worded sermon
A hyped up music program
Selfies
Friends
Chocolate
New toys
Baskets of candy
Bunnies
Family portraits
Inspiring dramas
Packed churches
Breaking records
Guest retention
Fancy lights
Children’s programs
Family dinner
We are about to learn that Easter… or Resurrection Sunday… is about…
An empty tomb
Life over death
Fulfilled promises
Answered prayers
Victory over death
Triumph over hell
Crushing the grip of the grave
Hope for tomorrow
None of which require a single, solitary thing from the first list.
This year, Easter will be quiet, intimate communion with Jesus… and that’s ok.
May it change the way we look at Easter.
May it change the way we worship.
May it change the way we live our lives forever.
