                 Greetings to all the Brethren of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
(Phil 1:2-6)  Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:  KJV
 It seems the years are flying bye and another Easter celebration is upon us once more. But again I witness, as years before, Easter is a time of egg decorating, chocolate rabbits and candy in a basket given to the children and a hunt for colored eggs out on the lawn of our churches across America. These seem innocent in themselves, but they all came from old pagan worship practices and incorporated into the Christian belief system down through the years and were never part of the original reasoning behind the celebrated days of Easter.    
 EASTER, is the time of which the Son of God was terribly crucified on a cross to Atone for the sins of mankind which we inherited through the fall of Adam and Eve.
(1 Cor 15:19-22)  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  KJV
 Man had inherited the sinful nature of the curse of Adam and Eves transgression, and was separated from the fellowship and spiritual life in God as Adam had experienced before the fall. To be restored back, there had to be an acceptable Atonement made unto a righteous God. (Rom 5:10-11)  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.  KJV The price had been paid if full!
He was wrapped with grave cloths, and laid in a borrowed tomb for burial. As He stated, He was to rise on the third day, after three days and three nights in the grave, according to scriptures written about him. (Matt 12:39-40) But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.  KJV
 Early on Sunday morning, at day break, a woman named Mary, a follower of Jesus Christ, arrived at the tomb finding it empty. Lets see what the Bible says about that moment of time.  (Matt 28:1-6)   In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
