I was at the ladies bible study this morning. One of the ladies was sharing of how she was telling her children about Easter. She stated that she told her children about the Easter bunny. They were going on a trip before Easter and, she went on to say that when she was talking to them about the Easter bunny, there was a rabbit in the middle of the road. The rabbit did not move so her husband had stopped the car. She had her children look at the rabbit. No sooner did she ask the children to look at the Easter bunny another car came and the rabbit got ran over.
My very thought at that moment was, "Did you not even think that God was trying to give you a message?" That Easter is not about rabbits, eggs, etc. That it was about Yeshua dying for our sins, and becoming the Passover Lamb and that He rose again on the third day. Why would the lady lie to her children about a rabbit that had nothing to do with Yeshua's death and resurrection? Only for her children to see the rabbit die at that very moment?
Yes, I am aware of the Easter pagan beliefs and all, however I do not worship these things. Nor are they my idols. Yet I do remember and think of what Yeshua had done for me and for the rest of the world.
I just found it interesting when the lady shared her story, or should I say tell her lies to her children. That is when the question popped up. Did she not realize that God was giving her a message that the rabbit was not the meaning of Yeshua's death and resurrection? And that is why the rabbit got ran over?

- there are 70 faces to 
how this made its way into the churches as being a godly tradition when there is nothing godly about the tradition.
