I Refuse to Wish You All A Happy Easter, Here's Why

Last night, I went to Target to by some cards for my grandsons. What I wanted was something that would tell them about the Passover and the symbol of the lamb, and how it relates to the death and resurrection of Yeshua/ Jesus. Unfortunately, I came up empty handed.

At one time the practice of Easter bothered me because Christians had hi-jacked the holiday of those of us who worshiped the goddess. Yes. I used to do that until the Holy Spirit corrected me.

Now as a Christian, it bothers me because Yah commanded us to celebrate the Passover, not Easter egg hunts, chocolate, bunnies, and baskets.

Exodus 12:25-27
"When you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite. "And when your children say to you, 'What does this rite mean to you?' you shall say, 'It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes '" And the people bowed low and worshiped.
Exodus 12:2-11
"This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you. "Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers' households, a lamb for each household. 'Now if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the number of persons in them; according to what each man should eat, you are to divide the lamb. read more.
Numbers 9:1-5
Thus the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, "Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time. "On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances." read more.
Deuteronomy 16:1-8
"Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night. "You shall sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God from the flock and the herd, in the place where the LORD chooses to establish His name. "You shall not eat leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you may remember all the days of your life the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.
We as Believers in Jesus should not conform to the ways of this world. We are supposed to be set apart and separate for Yah.
Romanns 12:2 
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
I believe the video below will help to explain further.

  1. I can't even remember where the Easter bunny story came from. We buy Easter candy...the day after Easter, when it's half price!

  2. Surprise, we were never taught the Easter bunny brought eggs and candy and I certainly did not teach my children that. Maundy Thursday is when we remember the Passover and that Christ celebrated it with his disciples, but Easter is celebrated because He Lives. Hugs.
