Easter, a holiday marking the resurrection of Jesus, will be celebrated on Sunday, March 31st, 2024.
Easter comes from the holiday name, which stems from the pre-Christian English goddess Eostre, who had a celebration in her honor at the beginning of spring.
This holiday tradition originated from the Germanic Easter celebration, which featured a bunny named Osterhase that symbolized fertility. The bunny laid eggs in nests for children to collect.
Easter eggs potentially stem from a pagan myth surrounding the goddess Eostre, who revived a dying bird and turned it into the iconic egg-laying rabbit, which in turn gifted Eostre with colorful eggs.
1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
It is sad to see that many modern churches have strayed from the truth by blindly following fables. It is time to reevaluate our beliefs and return to the solid foundation of truth that our faith was built upon.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Easter is not about egg hunts or Sunday meals that many modern so-called churches follow after. Modern churches need to take Jude’s advice and seriously strive for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
It’s a time to reflect on God’s love for the human race. This powerful message of love and hope reminds us that Easter is truly a celebration of the greatest act of love the world has ever known.
