What is Easter about in the Bible?

Easter or Resurrection Sunday is the most important celebration for us, Christians. It is about the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins so that those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life through Him.

As parents, it is our joy and responsibility to disciple our kids in God’s Holy Word. God has called us into parenthood, for He blessed us with children and equipped us to share our love for Jesus. Easter is a powerful time to explain to our kiddos why we celebrate Resurrection Sunday and what Jesus did for us all.

Where can I find the Easter story in the Bible?

The Easter story is found in the four gospels of the New Testament- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

In each gospel, you will find the same account of the time leading up to Jesus’s death and resurrection, but from a different point of view from each gospel writer. I love how each gospel writer gives us different details and explanations. Additionally, this is what you would expect from those who witnessed or were interviewed during the time of Jesus’s death and resurrection.

Our God, who is perfect, can put together a perfect book. Parents, let us remember when we’re disciplining our kids in God’s Word that scripture is authoritative, infallible, inspired, reliable, and sufficient.
