What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ. 

If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me. 

Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source? 

Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much evidence for Jesus’ existence that it is widely accepted among the most educated historians. Don’t take my word for it, research it! 

So Jesus existed, that’s a true cold fact! 

What many people have trouble with is believing that someone that existed and was just like one of us, a human, rose from the dead and is also our Savior. 

Yes, Jesus was a human, but He was also God. Many people have witnessed Jesus walking and talking with them after his crucifixion. There were witnesses to this and although not as popular there is historical evidence for that as well.(research it!)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:16,17 KJV

It takes faith to believe this and I wanted to just share the importance of knowing what you believe in and be firm in your beliefs. 


Share the good news of the Gospel but also be prepared to give answers to people who are curious and are ready to listen. Although there will always be those people who are only in the conversation for the sake of the argument and amusement.
