By the request of a friend I have decided to post on my blog again. I've been struggling to find a topic that I really want to discuss here on my wonderful blog, but I think today is an appropriate day to share my distaste for how the beauty of what Jesus did for us this Easter weekend has been overshadowed by our society. It bothers...no, it deeply saddens me to see how a day as special and beautiful as Easter has been tainted by consumerism and false idols. The Easter Bunny bothers me, and who in the world came up with searching for eggs? I can only conclude that these people were drunk at the time; however, the part that bothers me the most is that we buy into these man-imagined themes. Who are we serving!? Who died for us and rose again so that we can live a life free from the bondage of sin!? Jesus did, and let's not forget it. As christians, Easter should be a day set apart and above all the rest. We should show our Father the honor He deserves by celebrating all that He did for us on this day, and I don't think it's too much to ask that we set everything else aside on Sunday to do just that. Easter is one of my favorite days of the year, and I am so amazed by what God has done. I pray that you all have a wonderful, Jesus-focused Sunday with your families and friends.
