HEROES OF EASTER - The Real Story Behind Their Story (Large type / large print ed)

Easter is derived from the German word Eastern. The origin of Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover when the Israelites escaped from Egypt. The date for East- er falls on Sundays between 22 March and 25 April after the Astronomical full moon. The following Monday is a holiday for many Christian nations.

Easter is all about salvation for sinners who need a heart of flesh. God sent his son Jesus to loosen the callousness of our heart so we can repent and experi- ence salvation.

Before God created man, he prepared Earth as a beautiful birthday present for man. Man was lured into sin and God again came through by sending his son Jesus to die for our sin. Easter was the fulfilment of Christ's destiny. He was born to save sinners. Through death we are given life and hope again on a platter of gold after the sin of disobedience. Easter is celebrated with Joy because Christ has conquered death and we are given another opportunity to conquer our human flaws. We are forever reconciled with Christ
