I see posts concerning whether or not Jesus was truly crucified on a Friday and rose on a Sunday.
My bigger concern is that churches are having "Easter" bunnies and (chicken) eggs when the focus of this most sacred and somber holy day should be about the Lamb.
I'm not against celebrating - we will as well, because the greatest Sacrifice bought our redemption that we may obtain eternal life.
But we need to be careful what we're celebrating or the message we'reportraying, especially within the Churches. Are we celebrating the bunny and eggs or the Lamb?
I think bunnies are cute and I know egg decorating and hunts can be fun, but they should be at a different time and different place....Perhaps later to represent God's creation and springtime?
The Crucifixion is gruesome but we should never forget or take lightly the sacrifice of Jesus. This holiday is not about the bunny, it's about the Lamb.
