Let Easter Happen To You
Special observances during the springtime are natural re
sponses to many seasonal influences. History has recorded
varied patterns for these times of rejoicing and celebration.
Traditions, nationalities, economic factors, as well as re
ligion and other influences, affect the way people celebrate
the coming of the springtime, and Spring itself may bring
to bear the most potent influence of all.
Christianity has added another dimension to springtime
festivals. No longer merely a time to celebrate nature’s re
birth, and to enjoy the perennial optimism which calls a man
to a fresh start, Easter opens a new arena of exploration and
experience.
In Christianity, the continuing question of the ages, “If a
man die, shall he live again?”, finds its answer. The re
corded teachings of Jesus clearly tell of eternal life and all
its possibilities, as do the teachings of most religions. In
clude with the teachings of Jesus the actual fulfilment, also
recorded in the Bible and history, and Easter adds the di
mension of resurrection life to all that had previously been
celebrated in the springtime.
Easter is robbed of its most valuable meanings if we pass
through the season thinking only of nature with its fresh
greenness and blossoms, only of eggs and their promise of
life, only of new finery to mark the bursting forth of color
and beauty. What lasting values are brought in the green and
the blossom, the egg and the bunny, the new season of color
and beauty? Add a little time and green becomes brown, blos
som, leaf and even the fruit are gone, and where is the life
and color and beauty that held such promise?
But add Easter’s dimension. . . and live today in the light
of Easter’s tomorrows!
