Hi. Welcome to our website and thank you for visiting it.
Do you know that the first chocolate Easter egg in Britain was produced by Fry’s in 1873, with Cadbury’s introducing theirs in 1875. The early ones were made of dark chocolate, but in1897 Cadbury made them in milk chocolate. This is the egg that we know and love today, and people have been enjoying for nearly one hundred and thirty years. Easter eggs are now made by many companies and often come with all sorts of treats. While we might enjoy eggs of the chocolate kind at Easter, I wonder if we lose sight of what happened a long time before our Easter eggs came into being? A man was hung on a cross and crucified outside the city of Jerusalem, not because He had done anything wrong but that He was being punished by God for our sin(wrong doings) against Him. This man’s name is Jesus, and after dying on the cross He rose to life again on Easter Sunday. Why? So that if we believe that He did this for us, He can forgive our sin and make things right between us and God. And if we are right with God, we can go and live with Him in heaven forever. At Easter this year look beyond the eggs and everything else, and see Jesus dying in the cross for you. Why? So that by believing in Him says the Bible you might have everlasting life. May you come to know and accept this wonderful truth about Easter, and may it fill you with a special joy at this special time of year.
