THE MEANING OF EASTER
– THE HOLIEST WEEK OF THE YEAR
Easter is the most important day in Christendom, for without the resurrection there could be no offering of salvation, no forgiveness of sin, and no life after death. There could be no Christianity without the Son of God, for it was the miracle of the Resurrection and Ascension that affirmed the divinity of Christ. The New Testament relates the entire dramatic story in the words of Mark, Matthew, and Luke. This is not fiction. It is not a myth. It was a miracle.
Mark writes in 16:2-8:
“And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.”
