Easter or Christmas?

If you had to choose to celebrate only one of the above listed holidays (Easter or Christmas), which would you choose?

Okay, so that’s not a fair question, because for believers they are inseparable. You can’t have one without the other! However, as I’ve been reflecting on our rapidly approaching Easter celebrations, I’ve been asking myself why we tend to prepare for one more than the other? Many evangelicals do not give much thought to the season of lent, the time of preparation for Easter. I wonder why this is? Would love to hear some of your thoughts on this…

At Christmas we celebrate “Emmanuel – God with us!” At Easter, we proclaim “He is risen; He is risen indeed!” Let’s joyfully live out these confessions in our daily lives!

Have a meaningful Easter season!
