Celebrating Easter

It is amazing to me how busy the stores get at Easter time, and how excited everyone seems to be. Some are excited because they anticipate getting together with loved ones, Easter egg hunts and baskets full of candy. For some this is the only day that they go to church together as a family.
To Christians Easter represents all that Jesus did by dying on a cross. Easter is a celebration of Christ's resurrection. It is a time to be thankful that we can walk in victory and our sins are forgiven. Yes, we still get together with family and don new apparel for the Easter Sunday service at church. But, our focus should be on Christ.
What are you focusing on this Easter? Are you walking in victory, or defeat? Make this Easter Sunday as the day that you accept God's grace and eternal life.
