What’s the Big Deal About ✝Easter?

Not a lot of people know this about Christianity but Easter’s actually a bigger deal than Christmas. That was the case at least until a few 100 years ago when Christmas became more popular. So what’s the big deal about Easter? The Jews understood the purity of God and his stance on sin, they knew that they deserved death for their sins. So God made them a perform a symbolic killing through sacrifices instead of killing themselves. The Jews would have to transfer their sins onto a lamb which would then take on the role of a scapegoat. The transfer was symbolic of when God Himself would come in the form of a man as Jesus and would give himself up to be the purest sacrifice almost 2,000 years ago. This is the fundamental doctrine of Christianity: all men have sinned and deserve death, but God took on death himself so that man could live. The thing is, without Easter, Christmas would never be possible. Easter is a solemn yet joyful time to remember God’s love for his creation and the sacrifice that cost Him.
