Why Easter?
-
We celebrate Easter because we are celebrating the death of Jesus for our Sin and His magnificent resurrection from the tomb! We are celebrating Jesus as the Son of God. With Him being risen from the dead, it means that He’s living and thus preparing a special place in Heaven for all of his believers. Others may celebrate the true cause while also celebrating a reason to get together as a family, honouring Him with their own traditions and rejoicing in the Lord.
-
Although it remains unclear where Easter got its name, some argue that it has to do with the pagan goddess of Spring, Eostre, who was believed to be worshipped by the Saxons before Jesus was born. Others suggest it has more to do with a derivative of the word “erstehen,” an older form of the word “auferstehen” which is a German word for “Resurrection.”
-
There are various important reasons why the death and resurrection of Jesus is so important:
Jesus’ death replays the story of Adam and Eve except Jesus is successful over Sin through His obedience in dying on the cross.
Jesus’ death satisfies the adoration we could not fully give to God.
Jesus’ death took on the debt that we owed because of the wrong things we do.
Jesus’ death and resurrection is a triumph over evil and the devil.
Jesus’ lived a pure, blameless, sinless life and therefore sets the example for us to live by.
Jesus died as our representative and substitute, and takes away the penalty meant for us.
