Before Valentine’s Day was over, the eggs, bunnies and baby chicks were making their way to the store shelves. It is hard to find any of the true symbols of Easter in marketplace today. The significance of Easter for mankind seems all but forgotten amid the chocolate and marshmallow.
But close your eyes for a moment and stick your finger into any portion of your Bible, and wherever your finger lands you will see Easter, its foretelling, its revelation, its implications, and/or its denouement. Easter is what the whole book is about.
Skeptical? Consider the foretelling of Easter as found in Genesis, Leviticus, and Numbers.
The revelation of Easter, the events leading up, the capture of Jesus, the trials, the crucifixion and the glorious resurrection, is all described in eye-witness accounts in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The implications of Easter and its denouement or final resolution are the subject of the next series of posts. Review the Biblical accounts of Easter to bring a fresh remembrance to the study.
