Easter is the day on which Christians remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, agreeing with the angel at the tomb: “He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:6-7). Jesus had promised before his death: “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”

 A common belief is that Easter is about bunnies and eggs, a day that celebrates the coming of spring. Although Easter egg hunts are fun, and the blooming flowers are beautiful parts of God’s creation, there is something infinitely better to celebrate — the cross and the empty tomb.

On Easter Sunday, Christians gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The day is joyous with praise and thanksgiving for the gift of salvation that we receive through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Christians celebrate and declare this good news because it is foundational to our faith and hope.

Without the resurrection of Christ, we would still be lost in our sins and hopeless. Therefore, Easter is important to Christianity because it reminds us of Jesus’ resurrection, which impacts all areas of our faith and life.
