Easter Reflections April 2007 Climate debate Moderator©s John Mavor rocks evangelicals prison visit retires again Page 4 Page 6 Page 11 It is fi nished... NOT Late in the afternoon, since it was the Day of Preparation (that is, Sabbath eve), Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Jewish Council, came. He was one who lived expectantly, on the lookout for the kingdom of God. Working up his courage, he went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Pilate questioned whether he could be dead that soon and called for the captain to verify that he was really dead. Assured by the captain, he gave Joseph the corpse. Having already purchased a linen shroud, Joseph took him down, wrapped him in the shroud, placed him in a tomb that had been cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the opening.

Easter – What comes to mind? Easter – What comes to mind? In North American Culture, when someone is speaking of Easter, they are most likely referring to the events surrounding Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. Why is it though, that thoughts of easter eggs, chocolate bunnies, and pastel colours also run through our minds when we hear the term Easter? Easter – What comes to mind? Are these things also related to the events surrounding Jesus' death? Where did they come from and how did they get associated with the celebration we now call Easter? The purpose of this presentation is to find answers to these questions. What does the Bible say? As Bible believing Christians, it would make sense to start this search in God's Holy Word, the Bible. “Easter” in the Bible? Is the word 'Easter' found in the Bible? The word "Easter" is not found at all in most Bibles, including the NKJV, NIV, NASB, NLT, ESV, CEV, NCV, ASV, YLT, TNIV and many others. “Easter” in the KJV? However, It is found once in the King James Version of the Bible (in Acts 12:4). "And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." (Acts 12:4 KJV) “Passover” – In the KJV? Using Strong's Exhaustive Concordance: The word "Passover" occurs 77 times in the KJV of the Bible.
