Does the Resurrection of Jesus Christ have anything to do with
or this?
Children know all about the Easter Bunny, Easter Eggs, and childhood pagan traditions, but what do they really know about Jesus Christ, our creator, our Saviour? Even more, how do they live their daily lives in relation to Him. Do they think about Him on a daily basis? Do they pray or read the Bible on a daily basis? I think not, because I know most of the parents don't even do that! Sure, many will dress their kids in brand new "Easter" clothes and outfits and attend a Church service. Then they will participate in the "Easter Egg Hunt" put on by the "Church" or go home and the parents will put on an "Easter Egg Hunt".
He deserves your and your children's full and undivided attention. It's time to stop playing games and get serious with God.
Here we go again. It's time for another commercialized holiday for "Christians" to distract attention from the Lord Jesus Christ and to two-face Him. They also involve kids in paganised rituals to associate them with the Lord's Resurrection. What's worst is that many "Churches" that rightfully criticizes the Harry Potter trash and such actually put on their own "Easter Egg Hunts". When will Christian folk get it? God does not share His glory with anybody or anything, especially pagan practices. There is no way the Lord is pleased with this.

Tell me, which will a child remember and get more excited about, a dry sermon or an "Easter Egg Hunt" with brightly colored eggs, candy, prizes, etc? Kids are of the flesh just like adults. They will remember the candy and prizes.
Parents and people who have influence over children don't realize it, but they will give an account to God for what they're doing. Kids have a soul that will one day be in heaven or in hell.
What Resurrection Sunday is all about
Easter is a paganised holiday. Resurrection Sunday is a day to remember the Lord's death, burial, and resurrection. It is about the shedding of Jesus' innocent blood that paid the price for our sin. We can be reconciled to Father God. On top of that, we don't have to go to hell. We will have glorified bodies, we will never hurt or cry anymore. There will be no more sickness, no death. Jesus defeated death! We will one day rule and reign with Jesus Christ and we will walk in God's presence just as Adam did at the beginning.
Jesus did it ALL, He should not have to share His glory
He deserves your and your children's full and undivided attention. It's time to stop playing games and get serious with God.
Colossians 1:18-23 And he [Jesus] is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
1 Corinthians 15:19-23 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
I will end with something someone else posted on another website. I say a hardy Amen! to that.
"This may not be a popular viewpoint, but I must voice it- Why do we celebrate pagan holidays? Christmas, Easter and Halloween are all grounded in pagan roots. One of them is not even mentioned in scripture and the other two (Easter and Christmas) have traditional references that the scriptures says are blasphemous.
It bothers me mostly because I grew up with all these celebrations and when I learned they had no connection with celebrating Christ, I was deeply hurt. I understand some of you have connections with cultures who decorate eggs. I have a problem encouraging my children to embrace holidays that are spiritually and culturally irrelevant to them."
