I want to share a few thoughts about Easter. Next to Christmas, the Easter holiday receives the greatest fanfare in the Christian tradition. I am not bemoaning the existence of pageants and celebrations, but rather questioning their meaning. What exactly are people celebrating on Easter?
I often get the impression that the church is celebrating ceremony rather than a person. Commercialism aside, I am concerned that the church has trivialized the essence of the cross. I am also weary of those who use the Easter holiday to rouse and entertain. I am even more frightened by the prospect that many people sitting in the pews have prayed a prayer but have never experienced radical life change.
More to come...Craig
