Many view tomorrow morning, Sunday, the anniversary of the Lord's resurrection. It is wonderful that many take this day to go to church - some for the first time. What is sad is that this day has become so marked with pagan practices such as the egg, the bunny, and even the word Easter. These deep entrenched traditions have even caused the church to forget the Jewish roots of our faith. The Lord was crucified on Passover. If His crucifixion had been this year, that was from Monday at sundown until Tuesday at sundown. Our Lord would have been in the grave of owned by Joseph before the sun set on Tuesday of this past week. He would arise 3 days and 3 nights later, on the Feast of First Fruits. For 2010, that would mean he would have come up from the grave sometime from sundown Friday until just before sunrise on Saturday.
As Christians, we must come to realize it is not about the bunny but about the blood!
"Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast. . ."
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (New American Standard Bible)
