It's Easter and we all love the thought of the Long Weekend! There's Celebrations everywhere! Holidays! Parties! The Easter Bunny! Easter Eggs! Chocolates! Hot Cross Buns! Easter Egg Hunt! or maybe for some of us we look forward to catching up on sleeping in!

These things are good and its great to enjoy, but what is the real meaning of Easter?

It's the greatest story ever told. have you heard it?

Keith talks about the real meaning of Easter.

John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)

16For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

Isaiah 53 (The Message)

Isaiah 53

1 Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?

2-6
The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him.

7-9
He was beaten, he was tortured,
but he didn't say a word.
Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered
and like a sheep being sheared,
he took it all in silence.
Justice miscarried, and he was led off—
and did anyone really know what was happening?
He died without a thought for his own welfare,
beaten bloody for the sins of my people.
They buried him with the wicked,
threw him in a grave with a rich man,
Even though he'd never hurt a soul
or said one word that wasn't true.

10
Still, it's what God had in mind all along,
to crush him with pain.
The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin
so that he'd see life come from it—life, life, and more life.
And God's plan will deeply prosper through him.

11-12
Out of that terrible travail of soul,
he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it.
Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant,
will make many "righteous ones,"
as he himself carries the burden of their sins.
Therefore I'll reward him extravagantly—
the best of everything, the highest honors—
Because he looked death in the face and didn't flinch,
because he embraced the company of the lowest.
He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many,
he took up the cause of all the black sheep.

[firesotormlizard01]

cool as man

[n1c3j0b]

@314jake less paper..more pleasure

[314jake]

@n1c3j0b not all of them, plus there's as much evidence for his life as there is for many other historical figures whose existence we do not question. though i guess the consequences of it turning out king egbert in 802AD wasn't real wouldn't be quite the same as if it was proved jesus never existed. also, loved your back-rolling vid :F

[n1c3j0b]

@314jake the historical records are like 300 to 400 years after his "death" so there's no actual proof of him being a human.

[314jake]

@ihaterobbie123 so right, but i love robbie...

[314jake]

@gavinsstuff who jesus? he did exist - several historical records and writings of roman officials at the time. but fuck me if it turns out he was a magical son of god or some shit...

[314jake]

[Ima0ctopus]

i clicked on this video because i thought you were billy mays for a second:o

[gavinsstuff]

he doesnt exist

[thegreenestthings]

@n1c3j0b you guys are right we celebrate easter as if it has something to do with passover and it has nothing to do with a fucking bunny

[ihaterobbie123]

I don't know why n1c3j0b was negged...he's right. Why are eggs prevailent as a symbol of Easter? Because they're a symbol of fertility that was used by the pagans, who celebrated the seasons. Incidentally, the winter celebration we call christmas was originally called Yule or Yule-tide.

These celebrations OUTDATE christianity and to gain popularity, the story of the bible was made to fit around many other traditions.

Neg me if you want, the truth hurts.
