The REAL Easter

With Easter fastly approaching, I’ve been seeing a lot of the “world’s view” of the blessed Holiday, everywhere I go.  It saddens me that 99% of the world today doesn’t even know the true meaning of Easter.  I’ve tried really hard to teach my kids what Christmas and Easter is all about.  The world around them wants to drown out that truth, but with the Lord’s help, we are standing our ground. 

Brother Branham says it best…

« E-39 † That first view of Easter made a prophet scream. And the thunders roared and the lightnings flashed. He saw Easter his first time. When did he see it? Not when he had his–his well-groomed clothes on, not when he had his hair combed, perhaps, to the dot, not when he was enjoying the very best of health, but when he was in trouble. When he was laying in trouble at the hour and almost of his death, that’s when he saw Easter. That’s where he saw the first resurrection.

Oh, it’s been similar to you and I. It’s been when we laid at a altar somewhere until we were ready to die and said, “Lord God, do something for me.” It was then that God raised the curtain and we seen Easter. We see Easter, not in a way of theology so much. We never seen Easter as wearing new clothes. We never seen Easter as little rabbits and colored eggs. We see Easter in the power of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. That was the real Easter. And when he screamed, God answered back with fire.

«  53       †        And remember that today we celebrate just not a time to wear new hats and to wear new clothes; which is all right; it’s a symbol of something new, God did something new. Which is all right. It’s not only that. Easter doesn’t mean that. Or hunting Easter rabbits or bunny eggs, and little white chickens, and so forth, that isn’t the idea, brother.

Easter is a triumph; it’s the victory that God give over the earth, that He raised His Own Son from the dead, “That whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have Eternal Life.”
