Easter Sunday

Easter is really big here. This week, all the supermarket catalogues are filled with chocolates-chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, chocolate sticks, chocolate biscuit, chocolate cookies, chocolate cakes, chocolate brownies, chocolate flavoured cereal... Well, you get the idea.

.

Have you ever wondered how eggs, bunnies and chocolates came into the picture? I don't recall the Bible telling us about Jesus eating chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs..

Just before the weekend, one of my lecturers talked about Easter. He said that a long time ago, people had started to forget about Easter and it had started to lose its 'flavour'. So some people (forgot who) decided to have Easter Sunday on the same day Europeans have their end of Winter celebration.(True/false, I dunno)

"Or don't you know that all of us who were baptised into his death?

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,

just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,

we too may live a new life.

If we have been united with him like this in his death,

we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

For we know that our old self was cucified with him

so that the body of sin might be done away with,

that we should no longer be slaves to sin-

because anyone who has died has been freed from sin."

Romans 6:3-6 (NIV)

Let us learn to live a life that potrays that new life that we have gained through Jesus' resurrection.

To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen
