Don’t get me wrong, I love candy. (I also think bunnies are adorable, though I’m confused on how they make eggs). But are we more wrapped up in traditions that are more cultural fluff than spiritual truth? The bible calls us to remember Christ’s death and the radically game-changing significance that brings to our world. He conquered death. Celebrating Easter is to remember life over death and His light overcoming the darkness of this world. Eugene Peterson captures the essentials in his Message of Easter. A fantastic resource that tells the story of Easter and its significance in less than fifty pages.
