Synopsis:

• Post-modern America disregards or is unaware of the most pivotal events in the history of mankind -- the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  
• Proclamations range from flat out rejection of the Easter message to not knowing what it has to do with Christianity. 
• Some reveal memories of egg hunts but don’t associate Easter with any spiritual aspect.
• Convoluted opinions include distinguishing the social and political function of religion from spirituality to confusing heaven with Nirvana. 
• Three profound yet succinct testimonies powerfully proclaim Christ; there’s no comparison between walking with and without Christ, Jesus is what’s left at the end of life, and Christ paid the price and no one will ever do it again.
• Beautiful background music throughout with cuts of the sky and images of children running on grass collecting Easter eggs. At one point, the shadow of a cross overlays the grass.   

Application:

• There’s a need for the Great Commission to be carried out here at home.
• Don’t assume your friends and neighbors have heard the Gospel message.
• The truth never changes. Even though many people disregard the Resurrection and confuse Easter with bunnies, it doesn’t change the reality of who Christ is.  
• With the amalgamation of pagan traditions intersecting with Christian ideology, today’s church faces some of the same challenges that Paul did in pagan Corinth.   
• No matter how many people denounce the reality of the cross, there will always be those who bear witness to what Christ has done for them.

Suggested Uses:

• Easter Sunday service
• To be shown before Easter to encourage believers to invite people to church.
