Bible Verses About Easter Sunday

Easter, also called the Resurrection Sunday, is an event commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Easter is one of the most important Christian festivals of the years; it is when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that Christ died on the cross on a day we call Good Friday. According to the Bible, Jesus was then resurrected and came back to life on Easter Sunday.

Reasons Why We Celebrate on Sunday

Easter is a Celebration of Resurrection Power

You activate the resurrection power when you allow Jesus Christ to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. The resurrection of Jesus gave us victory over death and sin. The power of His resurrection is the power of salvation. It is the power to deliver us from our sins and death. Jesus was crucified. He died. Through the power of God, He rose up by the Power of God. The death and resurrection of Jesus are the foundation of our Christian faith.

A Celebration of Gift of Eternal Life to Everyone

A salary is what we worked for but a gift is what we did not work for. Through the death and the resurrection of Jesus, we have been offered the gift of eternal life- life forevermore. We earned death through our sins but Christ has come to offer us eternal life through his death-free of charge! This is the reason why Easter is one of the greatest celebrations in the Christian faith.
