What is Easter?

Get Flash Player

Description 

Main Point:  Sidewalk interviews with random people reveal that the most important day to Christians is seemingly irrelevant to society at large. 

Synopsis:

  • Post-modern America disregards or is unaware of the most pivotal events in the history of mankind -- the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  
  • Proclamations range from flat out rejection of the Easter message to not knowing what it has to do with Christianity. 
  • Some reveal memories of egg hunts but don’t associate Easter with any spiritual aspect.
  • Convoluted opinions include distinguishing the social and political function of religion from spirituality to confusing heaven with Nirvana. 
  • Three profound yet succinct testimonies powerfully proclaim Christ; there’s no comparison between walking with and without Christ, Jesus is what’s left at the end of life, and Christ paid the price and no one will ever do it again.
  • Beautiful background music throughout with cuts of the sky and images of children running on grass collecting Easter eggs. At one point, the shadow of a cross overlays the grass.   

Application:

  • There’s a need for the Great Commission to be carried out here at home.
  • Don’t assume your friends and neighbors have heard the Gospel message.
  • The truth never changes. Even though many people disregard the Resurrection and confuse Easter with bunnies, it doesn’t change the reality of who Christ is.  
  • With the amalgamation of pagan traditions intersecting with Christian ideology, today’s church faces some of the same challenges that Paul did in pagan Corinth.   
  • No matter how many people denounce the reality of the cross, there will always be those who bear witness to what Christ has done for them.

Suggested Uses:

  • Easter Sunday service
  • To be shown before Easter to encourage believers to invite people to church.

Biblical Reference:

1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolishness
