Easter is a wonderful celebration for us as Christians. Well, everything that happens to us must have a meaning for happening and I have 5 meanings for Easter.
For me, Easter means a new life. I get this from the meaning of the word Easter itself that the Lord guides the Israelites to go out from Egypt of long slavery. It means new birth also and going out of your comfort zone and try something new. Because when you go out from becoming a slave into an independent person, you would no longer stand in the shadow of your ruler. You will have to choose things yourself and even more, lead the whole flock to do something good.
I also found Easter as a tradition of sharing happiness. Any celebration we had usually commemorates something good. So Easter must be one of those celebrations too.
Easter can also mean uniting many differences in the world thorough one mission which God gave to His disciples to go and make all nations His disciples (Matthew 28:19). When we pray for people all throughout the world and be friends with them, somehow we could already unite differences and forget about the different races.
Christ’s revival is also a meaning for Easter. Without Christ’s revival after His death on the cross, all of us wouldn’t have the right amount of goodness and sacrifice to pay for our sins completely.
Lastly, Easter means the gift of Holy Ghost. After the celebration, as Christ ascended to heaven, He said that He will give His helper and it is formed as the Holy Ghost. I myself have encountered Holy Ghost. So for me, this is the best meaning of Easter yet.
I believe Easter means something to everybody as well as it means some things to me. So, what does Easter means to you?
