Gigantic chocolate eggs, Easter bunnies and a lamb roast dinner with the family are normally things many people associate with this time of year. But the religious meaning behind the chocolaty days off work, can sometimes be forgotten. Christianity holds Easter to be the most important celebration within their faith. It commemorates the sacrifice Jesus Christ made when he was crucified on Good Friday and the amazement of his resurrection on Easter Sunday. This biblical tale represents both hope and sacrifice, each dependent on the other. The betrayal of Judas, the jealousy of the priests and the arrogance of the roman political leaders are to be remembered when Christians reflect on how Jesus came to his death. The core of the faith states that God sacrificed his only son to save humanity from their sins, giving the people of this world a chance to join God in heaven. Jesus was willing to give his life and suffer for mankind in order to bring hope for the future. Therefore the courage, loyalty and strength Jesus demonstrated is also to be reflected upon and celebrated at this time of year.
TrueTube has provided a range of resources on this topic to pack in before the celebrations begin. The assembly plan explores the story of Easter in depth, why it is so important to Christians and some of the pagan roots behind the symbolism. Meanwhile, the PowerPoint presentation provides visual accompaniment to the script. The film ‘What is Sacrifice?’ asks the public what they would be willing to give up and what consequence this can have on the people around them. Overall, these resources offer a deep sense of reflection upon what sacrifice means to Christians and what sacrifice can personally mean to the individual. So besides the bunny ears and the Easter egg hunt this weekend, it is a time to reflect upon the people in our own lives and how those relationships are often worth sacrificing for.
