Easter Sunday is, before all things, a celebration of the Life of our Savior, whom death could not hold and who lives even today. One Sunday each year the Christian world makes a special proclamation to the entire world that our Savior lives. It’s one of the few days of the calendar year (besides perhaps Christmas) that non-Christians are compelled to stop and consider, if even for a second, this message of Life that Jesus Christ came preaching. It may be the only day of the year in which many hear the core of the gospel proclaimed, the message of such good news it almost seems to good to be true!
Which brings up an interesting and valid question: Are not Christians called to proclaim His resurrection every Sunday? If so, then some might ask why make such a big deal about Easter Sunday. Is it logical? Is it necessary? Is it even Scriptural? I have attended churches that celebrate Easter in a big way; I have attended churches that have gone about the day business-as-usual; I have even been to churches that seemed to go out of their way not to even acknowledge Easter anywhere on the premises. So is this Sunday any more special than any other Sunday of the year, or any other day of the year for that matter?
