Easter


Easter! Do you know what Easter is all about? Some people think easter is all about chocolate and bunnies and things like that. Some believe that easter it the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins.


Long ago Jesus was forced to carry a cross on his back and walk up a hill. When he had reached the top they nailed him up to the cross. He was mocked for being the King of Jews and someone shouted out to him “You saved others, why don’t you save yourself? ” he didn’t reply. Later on Jesus said “It is finished” he bowed his head and went to heaven.


They laid him in a tomb and blocked the entrance with a rock. Later on they went back to check on him and found that the rock was moved and that his body was gone. Jesus came back to visit his friends from the dead. He told them to teach about God’s love. “Tell the people,” said Jesus, “to believe in me even if they can’t see me.” Then Jesus went up to heaven to live with his Father.


I believe that Easter is all about family and we should spend time with them. On  Easter I spent time with my cousins. We had an Easter hunt that I set up it was pretty easy but they enjoyed it. Over all Easter was fun and yummy with all that chocolate.
