Easter is coming up a lot faster than most of us have anticipated. For many of us, we may think about Easter bunnies and colorful eggs that cover our front yards. But what is the meaning of Easter from the Bible, and why do Christians celebrate this holiday?
More than 2,000 years ago, on Resurrection Sunday, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ overcame the grave. He lived a perfect and blameless life and paid the penalty for our sins by dying for them on the cross.
But the story doesn’t end there. Christ overcomes death. Because of his victory over the grave, we have the opportunity to experience eternal life with him if we come into a saving relationship with him.
What Is the Meaning of Good Friday?
For those not familiar with Good Friday, this day remembers when more than 2000 years ago Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. The events kicked off at the beginning of Holy Week when Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Mid-week, Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ followers, agreed to betray him to the temple leaders. Jesus had been making, in the eyes of the religious leaders, uncomfortable claims about being God (John 8:48-59). They saw this as blasphemy and wanted to put him to death for it.
After Jesus shared a Last Supper with his disciples, he prays in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-56). There, Judas leads a mob to arrest Jesus. Jesus stands trial late in the night certainly not the proper legal practice. False witnesses can’t seem to get their story straight (Luke 22). Nevertheless, Jesus is tortured and presented to the Jewish people. They call for his death (Luke 23:21).
