Celebrating The True Meaning Of Easter With Kids

For Christians, Easter is a sacred time to remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. For many children, however, the Easter story can be quite confusing. Days are spent decorating eggs and shopping for the perfect Easter outfit, but often only an hour on Sunday morning is spent explaining the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice and the real reason we celebrate. Is it any wonder our kids are confused? As parents, we have the privilege of teaching our children the important truths of Easter, ultimately encouraging them to join God’s family. But the task can be overwhelming. Jesse Florea, editor of Focus on the Family’s Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr. magazines, offers advice for parents wanting to make the true significance of Easter a reality for their children.
