Comments: When Christians are celebrating Easter what are they really celebrating? I do not see as much emphasis on this as the birth of Jesus. Everyone knows what Christmas is about but Easter is a bit blurry.

Easter and Christians

Easter is supposed to commemorate Christ's resurrection. In contrast
Jesus told his disciples to memorialize, or remember, his death. (Luke 22:19, 20) Easter and its customs come from ancient false religions. Customs such as the use of eggs and rabbits. The early Christians did not celebrate Easter.

Christians & Easter Revealed Bible The

Why would anyone remember only his death and NOT his resurrection? Sorry, but I find it very odd. I think both occurrences should be remembered.

Easter and Christians

I agree both are highly significant, but Jesus sacrificial death is what takes away the sin of the world. And it's what he commanded to be observed.
(John 1:29; Luke 22:19, 20)

Easter and Christians

No problem with that David, however I think we should still commemorate both because as you said both are highly significant. Just because Jesus didn't mention to remember his resurrection doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

Christians & Easter

Easter celebrates Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, which is His victory over death. For those celebrate, happy Easter.

I wish to say Happy Easter to all of my friends out there that celebrate it. If you do not celebrate Easter then I wish you a very happy and nice day today.
