While Christmas -- the birth date of the Messiah, Jesus Christ -- marks the watershed of splitting calendar history into two epochs, B.C. and A.D., Easter marks the more important day for Christians and the world. Easter is the celebration of what is known as resurrection, which was living proof of God’s plan of life going beyond death for those who are redeemed, not by their works, but by their faith in the savior.
The Meaning of Easter and the Resurrection
The resurrection on the third day after Christ’s death transformed the world forever, providing seeing is believing “life after death.”
Easter is a uniquely joyful celebration among religious holidays because only Christianity has a founder who was the Messiah -- a rescuer and savior.
Christ is matchless in being the only person in history who was pre-announced starting a thousand years before he was born, with over 100 prophetic accounts from 18 different prophets, from the Old Testament between the 10th and the 4th centuries B.C., predicting the specifics of his coming birth, life, and death.
Hundreds of years later, the details of Christ’s birth, life, betrayal, and death validated those prophecies in surprisingly accurate and minute detail.
One thousand years B.C., David prophetically wrote about the crucifixion of Christ at a time crucifixion was unknown as a means of execution.
Every other consequential person of history came into the world to live.
The death of other religious leaders -- such as Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Muhammad, and Confucius -- brought an anticlimactic end to their lives and their work.
But Christ came into the world as God’s son to die and pay the price for man’s sin.
His sacrifice was the ultimate climax of his life, done for the benefit of all humankind -- opening the way to eternal life in heaven for all who believe.
Christ showed the highest standard of love possible through compassion for outcasts and healing the afflicted, by performing miracles, by his teachings, and in making the ultimate sacrifice of his life.
