"THE REAL MEANING OF EASTER"
Easter for many people means
only new clothes, family dinners,
colored eggs, fragrant lilies, and a
drive in the country. However, for
Christians, Easter is one of sev-eral
world-wide religious festivals
in which believers around the
world find great joy.
Rightly understood, Easter rep-resents
a fact, a presence and a
hope. The central fact of the ear-ly
Christian witness was that of a
Savior who had died for man's re-demption
but who had risen tri-umphant
over death and the
grave. His resurrection was at-tested
to by the many who saw
him after he came from the tomb.
Paul tells us that over 500 saw
him on one occasion. Our faith in
Christ is made dynamic as we re-member
the fact of his victory
over death.
Then, too, Easter reminds us of
a living presence. Our faith is not
in a Christ who taught and healed
in the remote past. Our faith is
in one who is alive forever. As we
face the issues of life, we face
them in his strength. We are al-ways
confident of his promie,
"Lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the age."
Finally, Easter reminds us of
an eternal hope. Our Lord, said,
"Because I live, ye shall live
also." He says, "I am the resur-rection
and the life. He that be-lieveth
in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live." We and
all who put their trust in him as
Lord and Savior share his resur-rection
promise. The risen Christ
gives eternal hope for our loved
ones and for ourselves.
On Easter Sunday, let us gath-er
with joy in our churches, lifting
our hearts in praise to our risen,
living Lord. Then let us with re-newed
faith and dedication go
forth to serve him in the fulfill-ment
of his eternal purpose for all
men.
