In my house growing up, instead of saying "Happy Easter", we would say "He is risen!" to which the other person would reply, "He is risen indeed!". This was a nice way of reminding each other that, although pretty new dresses and chocolate bunnies were very fun, the day was really a celebration of life. Jesus conquering sin and death means hope for me and all the rest of the world.
"Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died onto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God."
Romans 6:9-10
"But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:"
John 1:12
I hope you have had a blessed Easter!
