The death sentence of an innocent man changed, not only the course of history, it changed the course of eternity! Jesus’ arrest, trial and execution is the single greatest ‘setup’ of all time! The good news is that, out of that setup, came salvation; out of that injustice came justice; out of that death (and resurrection) came the hope of life eternal.
With the Easter Season upon us and also the visits from the Easter Bunny, I found the following top ten list on the Internet. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of the Easter Bunny especially since the Easter Bunny brings those wonderful Cadberry cream-filled chocolate eggs. But we need to realize that we celebrate Easter and our hope for eternal life comes from our resurrected Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So here is the Top Ten Reasons Why Jesus is WAY BETTER Than the Easter Bunny:
- The Easter Bunny has big feet and a furry tail. Jesus did a big feat with wood and nails!
- The Easter Bunny proves you can have too much of a good thing (chocolate). Jesus proves you can’t have too much of a God thing!
- No one ever got sick of an over consumption of grace, mercy and forgiveness.
- What would you rather have–dirty hands, or a clean heart?
- The phrase, “He who has floppy ears, let him hear…” just doesn’t cut it!
- Rabbits eat their fill from our gardens. Jesus said, “Not my will…” in the garden
- What would you rather do?–Gain weight, or gain salvation?
- Kinder eggs have a toy inside. The empty tomb means joy inside!
- The Easter Bunny hides stuff, but Jesus brings all things to light! “He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts.”(2 Corinthians 4:5)
And the number one reason that Jesus is WAY BETTER than the Easter Bunny is:
- Rabbits twitch their nose; but Jesus arose!
Share the Risen Lord with those around you and if they ask you if you really believe in all the Resurrection stuff, tell them, “I not only believe it, I AM COUNTING ON IT.”
