It was a poignant reminder that Easter is not about chocolate Easter bunnies, Easter eggs (a northern hemisphere ode to spring), or hot cross buns (although there were some served with butter after the service) but about acknowledging a critical event that changed the course of history, whether or not people believe in God or a man named Jesus. It had a definite meaning in my life growing up, and it has meaning in the afterlife.
I wish you all a happy Easter with the depth and meaning that it was intended as a holiday to spend with the family, but a weekend to contemplate where we and our loved ones would spend the afterlife when our time on this journey ends.
That's when Easter takes on a whole new light, and what the cross symbolises with the act that Jesus willingly endured, whether or not we believe in Him. As He is not a religion, but rather described as a religious leader of all time. I think the question is not whether or not we believe in Him but rather where you want to spend your afterlife...
