What really got me yesterday while eavesdropping on a conversation:
'What is Easter?'
As we approach the end of this Lenten season, I think about all the times I have taken Easter for granted. Bunnies, easter egg hunts, chocolate---the media truly had me as a child. I never knew about Good Friday, or the Easter Triduum.
How can we take Jesus's cross for granted by replacing his image with bunnies? I don't understand how the greatest sin of crucifying an innocent man could be replaced with such an image. How could we be so self absorbed to forget the real meaning of Easter?
I dare you and myself to look at a cross, and think differently this Easter.
We die because of our sins, and then are forgiven. Tell me that's not powerful.
