On this Resurrection Sunday, we rejoice in the victory of Jesus Christ over sin, death, and the devil. The women at the empty tomb were reminded by angels to “remember what He told you.” Though the disciples struggled to grasp the promise of the resurrection, Christ had foretold His death and triumph. His resurrection is the foundation of our faith, our hope, and our future. One day, all suffering will be erased, all things made new. Until then, we hold firm to the Word, trust in the risen Lord, and boldly proclaim, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
The children celebrated the resurrection of Jesus by receiving coins featuring a cross and John 3:16. The message emphasized that the cross is at the center of our lives, and the hole in the coin reminds us of the empty tomb. The stone was rolled away not for Jesus to escape, but so that we could see and believe that He has risen. Children were encouraged to remember this joyful truth every Sunday.
Easter is tied to the Jewish festival of Passover, which was when Jesus held the Last Supper. The Jewish calendar is based on lunar months, while ours follows the solar year. The early
church may have had a way up to convert the lunar calendar to the solar calendar. However, it is unclear how far in advance, in years, they could predict date.
In the 1800s, German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss devised a formula to calculate Easter’s date.

The Tradition of Easter Eggs: Second-century Christian missionaries encountered people in the North with pagan celebrations and evangelized to them using the symbols familiar to that culture. Christianity changed the pagan symbolism of the egg (nature’s rebirth) and linked it to the empty tomb – to Christ’s Resurrection and His victory over death.
Lore that has developed around the decoration of Easter Eggs includes a tale about the mother of Jesus at the foot of the cross and Mary Magdalen’s visit to Jesus's tomb. Mary is said to have given eggs to the soldiers at the cross so that they would be less cruel. Her tears fell upon the eggs, spotting them with dots of brilliant color.
Another tale explains that when Mary Magdalen went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus, she had with her a basket of eggs. Upon arriving at the tomb she discovered the eggs had taken on a rainbow of colors.
These stories are not biblical but are useful examples of how Christians in the past took advantage of secular symbols to share the Gospel with the world around them. The prize found in today’s Easter Eggs can be an opening to describe the prize won for us through Christ’s work.
Easter(Series B)
Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 25:6-9
Epistle Reading: 1Corinthians 15:1-11
Gospel Reading: Mark 16:1-8
The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christian faith. Despite many theories to explain the empty tomb—stolen body, wrong tomb, mistaken identity, revived Jesus, hallucinations—none withstand the historical and eyewitness evidence. The disciples, once fearful, boldly proclaimed Christ’s resurrection for decades, enduring persecution and martyrdom without recanting. Non-biblical sources, Roman edicts, and the transformation of the apostles further affirm the truth. The resurrection redeems and transforms us, giving hope and forgiveness. He has risen! He has risen indeed! Alleluia!

Old Testament Reading: Acts 10:34-43
Epistle Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
Gospel Reading: Matthew 28:1-10
The sermon reflects on the two great earthquakes recorded in Matthew’s Gospel—one at Jesus’ death on Good Friday and the other at His resurrection on Easter Sunday. These seismic events symbolize God’s wrath against sin and His joy in salvation. The angel rolled the stone away not to let Jesus out, but to let the women in to witness the empty tomb. The risen Christ’s message, “Do not be afraid,” offers hope amid life’s uncertainties, calling us to trust Him who conquered death. The resurrection is the first glimpse of a new world where death and sorrow no longer reign.
