What Easter all adout
Many people think that Easter is about Easter egg hunts, the Easter bunny, chocolate candy, and toys, but for a Christian, that's not what Easter is about. The true Easter story begins with the story of Christmas. The Christmas story tells how God sent Jesus to this earth as a baby. Jesus was not only a man but also God in human form. As Jesus grew up, He never sinned, which means He never displeased God. Jesus knew that everyone else does sin, though. We all sin when we do, say, and think wrong things that displease God. Because of our sin, we deserve to spend eternity without God. But, because God loves us, He sent Jesus to give us a way to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Jesus didn't deserve to die, since He had never sinned. But He died on the cross to take the punishment we deserve for our sins. Three days later, God brought Jesus back to life. If we believe and trust in Jesus to forgive us from our sins, we'll go to heaven to be with Him when we die. For Christians, Easter is the time when we remember what Jesus did for us—He died for our sins, came back to life, and is now waiting for us in heaven!
