They spit on you – they punched you and jabbed you with their swords. They made a crown of sharp hard thorns and crushed it down on your head – your blood flowed freely – the pain was intense. You are mocked and laughed at and then...you are taken into a court yard and with a flesh tearing whip, you are flogged...the pain, the blood, the despair is unbearable. You are on the verge of exhaustion and...death. Suddenly, they drag you to your feet and with spear tips breaking your flesh, they force you out into the street...There on the ground is a heavy wooden cross...yours to carry and...die on. Again the sharp prodding of the spears force you to pick up one end of the cross and start dragging it...up to the Hill of Death – Golgotha. Suddenly your body goes numb and you fall..no strength left, too much pain to endure. One of the soldiers forces a man named Simon to drag the cross for you...you are prodded to your feet. Through rivulets of blood before your eyes – you know the end is near.

They threw you to the ground on top of the wooden cross. And then, with long spikes, nailed your hands and feet to the cross, then, with an agonizing thud – dropped the cross upright in a hole. The searing pain of tearing flesh, the blood and the tears...you were suffering this for me! At mid-afternoon, you called out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and...a few minutes later you called out again and then...died. At that moment, the curtain in the temple ripped in half, rocks split and burial tombs opened! The ground shook as one Roman officer looked at you and said, "This truly was the Son of God!" They buried you in a new tomb with a huge rock at the entrance guarded by Roman soldiers...but Sunday morning...Easter morning...two women went to visit the tomb...there was a great earthquake and the huge stone was rolled away...and an Angel said "HE IS RISEN!"

The tomb was empty – YES! HE IS RISEN – HALLEJUAH
HAPPY EASTER!

Caution...Easter candy users...DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT do what I did...when I was 12 years old. Mom and Dad had taken me to a "Robert Hall" men's clothing store and bought me a new suit for Easter! I looked really "SPIFFY!" Well, here comes Easter morning with the candy and eggs and all,...so I thought I'd eat the ears off of a chocolate bunny and save the rest...for later. I re-wrapped the plastic cover around my treat, stuffed it in my new suit jacket and away to church we go! The church was really warm (HOT!) and the sermon was extremely LONG and finally with the "last Amen", to Sunday School I went. I had it all figured that between church and Sunday School, I'd have time to enjoy the delicacy of my "Lil Bunny". "Bye Mom & Dad! See you in an hour!!"...that proved to be too short a time. When I reached into my pocket for my chocolate friend – he had disappeared...and a huge mess was in and on my new suit! Right here I should point out Dear Reader, I saw my whole PAST life race before my eyes! Mom and Dad were gonna kill me! I hurried into the bathroom and with wet hand papers TRIED to wash the sweet brown disaster away!...BAD MOVE! The chocolate seemed to grow and prosper with every swab of the wet towel and it spread from my pocket to my shirt to my pants!...I really was a dead man walking!!...I can't begin to tell you...nor should I try...the language and the anger that was put upon me by my "loving" parents – there were thoughts of shipping me away to places I'd never heard of!

The moral of the story?...Simple. Eat the doggone rabbit all at once...it may be a long sermon!
