The Easter Bunny
John 20:1-18

Very often the emphasis placed on various religious celebrations gets clouded by the emphasis placed on them secularly. Even children can become somewhat confused over the meaning and importance.

In the cartoon THE FAMILY CIRCLE the two children have found their Easter baskets and are enjoying them.

One asked, "Who colored all these eggs?"

To which his sister replied, "The Easter bunny."

 "Who gave us the jelly beans?"

"The Easter bunny."

 "And the chocolate rabbit?"

"The Easter bunny."

 Obviously, there was nothing beyond the reach of the Easter bunny. The family attended Easter services and heard the preacher say, "They came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled back. Who could have done this?"

To which the little boy jumped up in a pew and said, "The Easter Bunny!"
