There are so many emotions tied in with the celebration of Easter. On Good Friday we actually celebrate the crucifixion of the Son of God. Historians tell us death by crucifixion is perhaps the cruelest, most inhumane form of execution ever devised by man, yet in the case of Jesus we celebrate it because of what it meant for all mankind. While it doesn't diminish the suffering, it does give it purpose.
Today, we celebrate an empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus. It really has nothing to do with new clothes or a parade on Fifth Avenue. It has more to do with understanding the key to opening the door to salvation and eternal life.
So, don't get hung-up on what you look like on the outside. Instead, pay attention to what is happening on the inside.
