Easter is the focal point of the Christian faith. It is significant for four main reasons:

1. The Easter event fulfils hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament of The Bible and predictions that Jesus makes in his teaching. Easter is something God planned from the beginning.

2. At Easter, Jesus modelled what it meant to live (and die) in perfect obedience and faith in God. He suffered horrendously yet did not sin.

3. Jesus, in his death on the cross, pays for the death penalty of others who trust in him. This is because he was pure and perfect and is the only one who did not deserve to die himself.

4. Because Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday this proves his divinity and his power to save for eternity those who commit to him. This event in history has great enduring significance.

Christians celebrate Easter as a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave. Good Friday (the Friday before Easter) represents the day He was killed and buried. And Easter Sunday represents when the grave was empty.
