Jesus vs. the Easter Bunny

Earlier today I was writing an article for the web. In searching for a photo depicting Easter, I found lots and lots of pictures with the Easter bunny and Easter eggs....but a scant few depicting the death and resurrection of Christ.

How sad that Christ is shoved to the background when He is the reason for Easter.

Many non-Christians and Christians celebrate the day with colored eggs, new spring wear, and large family dinners....never giving a thought to Jesus Christ. Their children grow up never knowing what Easter is really all about.

I see nothing wrong with colored eggs and Easter bunnies, but only in the context of them symbolizing new life....with Christ as the main focus.

After all, Christ is what Easter is all about.
