What is Easter about?

• A. Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection
• B. Jesus' birth
• C. Moses receiving the law
• D. Elijah's miracles

Answer: (A)

Easter is about Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It centers on the idea that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for sin and then rose from the dead, proving he is God’s Son and offering forgiveness and new life to believers. Holy Week often helps churches remember this sequence: Palm Sunday (Jesus enters Jerusalem), Good Friday (his crucifixion), and Easter Sunday (his resurrection). Think of it this way: Easter celebrates life after death and the hope of eternal life for those who follow Jesus. It’s not about Jesus’ birth—that’s Christmas. It’s not about Moses receiving the law or Elijah's miracles—that’s from other stories in the Bible, not tied to Easter.
