Why is Easter important?

Easter is the key focus of the Christian faith. It is important because it explains the focal point of Christianity and the reason why many people choose to follow Jesus Christ. Here are some of the reasons why Easter is important:

• Easter celebrates the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• Jesus died in our place and he rose again because he conquered death.
• It reminds us that Jesus died so that we could be forgiven.
• Easter shows that death had no power over Jesus and if we belong to him, we will also rise again.
• Jesus defeated death and forgives all our sins because he laid down his life for us.
• Without Easter, we would have no hope of eternal life and everlasting redemption.
