Easter Bunny Controversy

Happy Easter! This morning, the birds are singing as I get ready for this Resurrection Sunday. Let’s start off with an Easter bunny controversy cartoon.

Easter Bunny Controversy cartoon. A boy says to the Easter Bunny, "Why do you choose to make kids happy by stealing from chickens?"

The Easter bunny has always given me the creeps. I giant six-foot rodent never appeared to me no matter how many treat-filled eggs I received. Besides, an Easter egg hunt looked to me like a terror-filled survival of the fittest. I have an early memory of running frantically to try to get at least one egg before the bigger, faster kids took them all.

Easter 2020: A Resurrection Sunday Like No Other

I feel sorry for the Mall Easter Bunnies this year. They rarely get the respect a Mall Santa gets. And just when people began thinking about the holiday, all the malls were closed. Perhaps that’s why this cartoon rang true for me this year. Mr. Easter Bunny, don’t count all your eggs before they hatch!

It’s safe to say nearly all of us have had to change our plans this year.

  • Retail sales have had to pivot to online sales
  • Businesses have had to figure out if they were essential or not
  • Parents have been forced to realize how challenging homeschooling can be
  • Pets have had to deal with having no “me time”
  • Churches that weren’t streaming services online had to learn fast

My wife and I will be attending an online Easter service. For a couple that has served and worked at churches nearly every Sunday for over thirty years, this has been an adjustment. The method has changed, but the message has not.

  • It is a message of hope
  • It is a message of glorious light after a pitch-black midnight
  • It is message that resurrects the dead
  • It is a message that trumps Mall Bunnies and Santas

They said unto them, “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.”

Luke 24: 5-6 (KJV)

Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday, everyone!
