You know, children today may not get the real meaning of Easter. Easter is about the most historic, glorious day in all of history. Why? Because Jesus Christ rose again from the grave, signifying he had defeated death and forgiven our sins.
One final thought. Why don’t you take some time this week to go over the real meaning of the Easter story with your children? And if you haven't used Resurrection Eggs, go to familylife.com to find out more. Or to your local Wal-Mart store and get a dozen.
I’m Dennis Rainey, and THAT’s Real FamilyLife.
