Easter For Real

Today is Easter and today, I'm going to tell you it's real meaning. It's not about Easter eggs or the Easter bunny.

Back in the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus was born. He taught and did miracles. Then Jesus' disciple, Judas, told these guys who didn't like Jesus where He was. They were going to get Him crucified (crosafided)! Crucified means to be whipped and beaten and forced to work. Then, you have to carry a big, wooden cross to a hill and be hung up by nails and die. Well, Jesus was hung up there on Good Friday. Before that, He got whipped 39 times and had a crown of thorns on His head and He carried the cross to the hill. He was hung up by nails on His hands and feet. People who liked Him, put a towel covered in wine on a stick and gave it to Him. But these mean men wanted Jesus to suffer, so they got a spear and drove it into His side. Ouch, I bet that hurt! They said to Him, "If you're the Son of God, why don't you save yourself?" Then He died. He was placed in a tomb with a rock guarding the door. After three days, on Easter, His mother Mary and a friend came to put flowers at His grave. Ohh!! The tomb was empty! The Lord had risen! He came back to His disciples. They were stunned. Then after 40 days, He went to Heaven. So, there's the story, folks!

If you're either lost or if you're lonely or bad with sin, just turn to Jesus. He is always there to help you out. (She believes that based on the picture she picked, that it was probably about to rain as Jesus went to Heaven.)
