Happy Easter!


LEGO HAPPY EASTER

If John were here, he would mark the holiday today including the exclamation point in the heading. This is what he wrote last year, still timely:

Happy Easterto our Christian friends and readers.

Last week in Sunday School, a boy asked why the Easter Bunny delivers eggs since rabbits dont lay eggs, and anyway, what do eggs and rabbits have to do with Easter? So I explained about Easter, springtime, the new life of the Resurrection and the new life symbolized by eggs and baby rabbits. I have to hand it to the kid, though, it was a pretty smart question.

With Christians under attack in many areas around the world, and even (although not yet physically) here at home, Easter has a special poignancy this year. Twenty or thirty years ago, I never would have imagined that in our time, so many Christians would die for their faith. If it keeps happening, maybe someday the churches themselves will notice.

I took this picture in my church this morning, just before the service started:
