Dennis Rainey: How does your family celebrate Easter?
(from the film - Jesus)
thief: Remember me Jesus when you come as King.
Jesus: I promise you, today you will be in paradise with me.
Dennis Rainey: That comes from the "Jesus" film, which has been shown all over the world. The scene you heard depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ which we remember, today on Good Friday. Of course, Good Friday is a part of the Easter weekend, which you'll probably celebrate with your family.[ Read Full Transcript ]
Do your children know why we celebrate this weekend? At your home, is Easter about Jesus Christ, or is it simply a hunt for a bunch of eggs left by an imaginary bunny? Do your children know that without the Easter weekend, we would have no hope of life beyond the grave?
One final thought. Why not ask your children if they can tell you what the Easter story is really all about? If they can't, you might want to read the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ to them. You can find it in Luke, chapter 23 and 24.
I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real Family Life.
