Beware the bunny
His tail so funny
His soft and fluffy face
If you follow him down
To the hole in the ground
You might never know God’s grace.
I love a fluffy bunny as much as the next person, but their prevalence at Easter is smoke and mirrors hiding the truth.
The truth of Easter is harsh! There are whips and nails, a crown of thorns, blood, death and betrayal. Friday was the day that Jesus was nailed to a cross. He had done no wrong, healed many, and preached about love and forgiveness.
On Sunday something unexpected happened. Jesus’s body was no longer in the tomb. He was alive! We are told in a letter from St. Paul of Tarsus that eventually more than 500 people witnessed his resurrection, who were still alive at the time of his writing.
The resurrection proves why Friday is GOOD. On Good Friday Jesus died to pay the spiritual debt of the sins of the world. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, proving that all he said was true. He said that he came to bring us life. There is now only one thing between us and God and that is our free will. It is always up to us to choose.
Will we follow the way of life?
