What is the true meaning of Easter?

Answer 1

Easter to some might just be getting candy or a trip from the Easter Bunny, but the main focus should always be our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us on Good Friday and rose on Easter Sunday. He DIED for ME and YOU! He was willing to give his own life for us, people that would love him and even for the people that would betray him. That is how much he loves us. That is why we live today. That is an almighty savior. He was nailed to the cross after being beaten with a whip that had thorns at the end so that it tore his back up. He carried the heavy cross up the hill but was so badly beaten that he fell. After they had made it on the top of the hill they drove nails through his wrists and feet to be hung on the cross. He carried the sin of the world on his sholders. All of our "bads" , all of our wrong doings, he held tham and made them his own, so that we, sinners, could live without sin on our sholders. He suffered for us and the least we can all do is to show him that we do love him and that we will declare him as our ONLY God and savior, which he is.

Phillipains 4:13

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Answer 2

Easter is a pagan festival. If Easter isn't really about Jesus, then what is it about? Today, we see a secular culture celebrating the spring equinox, whilst religious culture celebrates the resurrection. However, early Christianity made a pragmatic acceptance of ancient pagan practises, most of which we enjoy today at Easter. The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross) and his rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a well worn story in the ancient world. There were plenty of parallel, rival resurrected saviours too.
