happy easter !

yep, happy easter, guys :)

easter. easter, easter, easter. what is easter, may i ask ? is there something behind the easter egg hunts and the easter bunny ? or are those just things made up by random companies who wanna make money, ruining the real meaning of easter ? i'd go with the latter. so lemme tell you what easter's about in the christian world. there is absolutely no point whatsoever in easter eggs nd chocolate bunnies besides money for companies who make them and fun for those using them. it's just fun, that's all it is. but you can have fun any day. easter's the day to think about what God's done for you. i mean, you should do that EVERY day, but on easter day, just like christmas nd thanksgiving, mother's day, father's day, and the like, those are the days you should REALLY think about things more than you normally would on a daily basis.

so, lemme start with good friday. that's the day Christ sacrificed himself on the cross at Golgotha. He died alongside two robbers, one on his left, one on his right. obviously, he did not deserve this same punishment [death on a cross] as the two beside him, as he had done nothing wrong. however, to fulfill the prophecies & the Scripture, he went along with it, without a word of complaint. he was badly mistreated and talked about behind his back. after hours of hanging on the cross, he gave out a loud cry and said, "Father, into your hands I commit my Spirit," and breathed his last.

on the third day, mary magdelene and company went to look at the tomb. when they got there, they found that Jesus was no longer there. an angel told them that He had risen from the dead. He later appeared to mary magdelene, then to His disciples. this day is the day presently known to us as easter sunday. to us christians, there is so much more meaning to it than eggs nd bunnies nd chocolate nd such. without this day, we would have nothing to believe in, nothing to live for ; our faith would be false. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
