Easter Sunday was a fun day when I was a child. Who doesn’t like a treasure hunt? We decorated eggs, wrote names on them, and hid them from one another. Then we set out to find those with our names on them. Sometimes we would go to larger treasure hunts where dozens of children ran about looking for any egg to add to their basket. It all seemed like harmless fun. Who could possibly be against it?
But, we never stopped to ask,
Why are we doing this?
What does it have to do with the resurrection of Christ?
How do eggs and rabbits fit into the picture?
Where does the name Easter come from?
Are any of these questions even relevant?
What difference does any of this make?
Sadly, too many adults never ask these questions. It almost seems sacrilegious to question such longstanding traditions. But is it?
On today’s Tomorrow’s World program, I’ll answer these questions. I’ll also show you from the Bible what was the only sign Jesus said He would give, that He was the One He claimed to be -- the Son of God -- and how Easter traditions contradict that sign. I’ll also be offering you an informative resource that answers the questions: On what day was Jesus crucified and on what day was He resurrected? If you think the crucifixion was on Friday and the resurrection on Sunday morning, you could not be more wrong, and I’ll prove it to you from the pages of the Bible. As we so often say, “Don’t believe us just because we say it. Believe it because you can prove it for yourself from the pages of your own Bible.” So, dust off your Bible and have writing material available to jot down the scriptures, and also to order our free resource, Easter: the Untold Story.
