Over at Do Not Be Surprised... Erin has an excellent collection of videos of what various entertainment-oriented (and, in my opinion, apostate) churches are doing for Easter celebration. This collection includes the churches “pastored” by Ed Young, Jr, Troy Gramling, Rick Warren, Rod Parsley and Kevin Gerald, and a Canadian church which is putting on a Batman and Robin show!
So is this what Jesus rose from the dead for? Not even close. Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, and he rose from the dead to prove the payment was accepted and death was conquered. Easter is not about celebrating how good we can entertain each other by copying the world’s system. It is about celebrating our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what He did for us.
This old B.C. comic strip from 1991 sums it up succinctly.
