HappyEaster! Whatis Easter for me? Easter Bunny? Easter eggs? Easter choclates? Easter greeting cards? Easter happiness? Easter holidays? Par- ties? Easter reunions and visits with family and friends? Jesus Christ risen , from the dead? Resurrection? When I think of Easter, whichof these words is most meaningful? Which tells me the most about what Easter really is? For Christians, Easter is the annual celebration of Jesus Christ's rising l from death. Easter is the greatest event of the whole year; in fact, it is the greatest event in the history of the whole world. It is the event that gives meaning to all that ever happened before it; it gives meaning to all that has happened after it, until now; it is the event that gives meaning to every form ofcelebration, especially at Easter time. Easter is the eventthat gives meaning to every form of life on earth, and gives meaning to what will | happen to us after our death. Even as we respect in every possible way the beliefs andcustoms ofother peoples, Christians believe that God chose to reveal himself to all the hu- man beings ofplanet earth. Our Creator wanted us, his creatures, toknow and to love him in a personal manner. He came to live amongst us, to share our life in every way that we do, except for sin. He identified himself withthe weakest of his creatures, the poor, the sick, the small. He offered the most peaceful yet most efficient solution to every form of injustice. His solution was so revolutionary yet so simple that some of his own people could not agree with what he did and said. They finally got him condemnedand nailed on a cross. And that's the end of the story. Or is it? No it isn't the end! A few days later, some of his friends reported seeing him alive, and claimedhe had risen. According to what is recorded in the Gospels, they KAINAI NEWS Qaresholrn; Bi-Lo Foods recognized Him at the breaking of the bread during a meal between friends, Seven Eleven justas he had done many times with them.
