Missing Easter

We are a little over a week away until the Christian world celebrates Resurrection Sunday, or as many call it, Easter.

For some Christians, this is just another Sunday. They can tell you about pagan connections or their hatred of eggs and chocolate bunnies. Some very devout religious people will not celebrate this day as an act of devotion to Jesus.

For other Christians, this day will be filled with worship attendance, a celebration of the resurrection, family time together, and perhaps a big family dinner. They will enjoy this day and its emphasis on the resurrection of Jesus as an act of worship.

Neither of these two groups is my concern during this time of year. What weighs heavy on my mind are those who will miss Easter because no Christian shared their faith with them. No one invited them to join in worship on this day. No one connected with them with the hopes of telling them about Jesus’ resurrection. They will neither find faith nor joy during this holiday season.

I don’t want anyone to miss Easter because of Christian neglect. Maybe we can work together as believers to make sure that doesn’t happen this year. We have a week, so let’s get inviting.
