4) Easter Eggs, Cross, Disappointed...
I am so disappointed. Death of Jesus, cross and eggs. Where do they mix? You are responsible to God for teaching wrong doctrines to children and making money out of God's children by selling lies to them.
--from SSTN:
I wanted to share an exchange I had over the weekend with a subscriber
(posting above, name withheld). In all probability there are others who are
thinking the same thing; I'd like a chance to explain my reasoning on this
subject, please read on:
I'm so sorry you are disappointed. I understand you are associating eggs with heathen
practices. However, I don't see it this way. Jesus redeemed everything by his death on the
cross.
I would ask, what do weeds, pearls, fishing nets and mustard seeds have to do
with the cross? Indirectly they don't have anything to do with it, but Jesus
used them to explain something about his kingdom. This method of using eggs,
which is no longer associated with heathen practices, is a fun way for children to learn the steps of what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross--he reversed the
curse, giving us new life in him. In addition, eggs are
created by God, they do not belong to the Evil One, he has no right to claim
them.
