Eggs and Bunnies

" God has risen."

Those are the words that go around a church, or in between families on Easter. It is true, God has risen. Over two thousand years ago. And thanks to that we are able to go to heaven. Easter is a celebration of new life and the freedom that we spiritually have because Jesus died for us. We can choose if we want to go to heaven or hell. Don't have to sacrifice animals, because Jesus' blood made all of our sins be forgiven with an honest prayer.

Easter is a "Thank you God" holiday. But for some strange reason, people made it about bunnies and eggs. Both of which I can understand partially to why, but not completely. How does a holiday about death, and rising or Jesus have any connection to bunnies? Eggs on the other hand are a symbol  of new life, it's more of a tangible explanation to new life. Chicks are born from eggs and they produce more and more. So the only thing that connects Easter and Eggs is brand new life.

Bunnies are more of a spring thing then Easter. So why are they the ones bringing eggs to little children? I believe in having fun. And people can make bunnies bring eggs and Santa brings presents. But they have to remember the true meaning of Christmas and Easter, and not stray from it too far. Because even though we can include other aspects into those holidays they are still about God and his gifts to us. And it is our duty to honor them and be happy for getting  them.

Happy Easter everyone!
