Our Easter Message
Why do Christians celebrate Easter?
About 2000 years ago, a man named Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem, where crowds welcomed him as king. A few days later, one of his disciples betrayed Him. He was arrested, without any legal basis, and tried for the crime of being the Son of God.
When Jewish authorities asked if he was the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus replied: “It is as you said.” (Matthew 26:64 NKJV) In giving this response, the High Priest claimed He had spoken against God and should be put to death. But to sentence someone to death, the Jewish leaders had to have the Roman Governor’s permission.
The Roman Governor asked Jesus if he was the King of the Jews. Jesus replied: “It is as you say.” (Matthew 27:11 NKJV)
Pilate didn’t think Jesus had done anything wrong but the priests and chief elders insisted on accusing Him. Pilate didn’t know what to do, so he sent Jesus to King Herod. Unable to get Jesus to incriminate Himself, Herod made fun of Him and Herod’s soldiers physically assaulted Him. Then Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate, as Herod also didn’t know what to do with Jesus.
It was the Jewish Passover. It was customary at this time for the Roman Governor to release one Jewish prisoner. So, Pilate gave the crowd a choice: whether to release Jesus or release a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
The crowd, the people, chose to release Barrabas and crucify Jesus. During the Roman occupation of Israel, who was in that crowd? Roman citizens, Jews, people from across the Roman Empire? Whoever they were, it was the people who made the decision to crucify Jesus. Sin makes people do stupid things. But before we blame anyone for crucifying an innocent man, let’s remember that this happened because it was God’s will; it was according to God’s plan to save us all so that we might enter the Kingdom of Heaven and have eternal life.
The Roman soldiers flogged Jesus and then nailed Him to the cross; He was crucified just as the crowd had demanded.
Jesus died on a Friday – this is what is known today as Easter Friday. That same day, Jesus’ earthly body was placed in a tomb.
After the Sabbath, on Sunday – now known as Easter Sunday – Mary Magdalene and some other women went to Jesus’ tomb. But His body was not there. Afterwards, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and His disciples, proving He had risen from the dead to offer salvation and eternal life.
You can read about the Easter Story HERE or find it in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. See HERE for 14 Bible passages which tell the Easter Story. You can search and read the Bible online HERE.
To all our readers: Just as spring brings new life, we hope the resurrection of Jesus brings new hope and joy to your life this Easter.
