Happy Holy Week!
This is why we celebrate:
If Easter hadn’t happened, Christmas would have no meaning.
If the tomb isn’t empty, the cradle makes no difference.
If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, he was just a misguided Jewish rabbi with delusions of grandeur.
If Easter isn’t true, then Christmas is only the story of an obscure baby born in an out-of-the-way village in a forgotten land 2000 years ago.
It is Easter that gives Christmas its meaning.
