The Readers Digest tells a story about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all the holidays that people of faith celebrated.
He said to a friend, “You Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their holidays like Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don’t have recognized holidays. It’s unfair discrimination.”
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, “Well, you atheists could celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April Fool’s Day. It fits, because ‘the fool has said in his heart there is no God.’ ”
And that is, in fact, what the Bible tells us in Psalm 14:1 and 53:1. Easter, on the other hand, is for everyone. But it is not about bunnies or brightly colored eggs. It is about Jesus, and specifically, it is about Jesus crucified and risen again from the dead. He is Alive and He is willing to extend Eternal Life to all who will believe.
