EASTER

WHAT MATTERS

3/25/2016

Dr.C. Branker

Growing up as a little boy, Easter was a very special holiday season.

It actually was a holy- day. Businesses would close on good Friday and open on Monday.

Everyone was taught about the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Children drew Him on crosses, adults attended church services a week before, everyone with a palm branch in hand. 

The radio played sacred music and the television showed religious movies. 

We ate fish and did not spill the blood of chickens nor any other animal as we remembered with passion our Lord bleeding on the cross.

Sadly today, businesses make a great deal of money and children hardly know the meaning of Easter.

The stores are filled with eggs and rabbits but not many crucifixes, and crowns of thorns. 

There are Easter parties, Easter sales, Easter games, Easter bingo and Easter drawings at the casinos.

Where have all the believers gone?
