Why do we say Happy Easter?

 Why do we celebrate the story of Easter – the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus?  Why do we say that this is the Happy Easter Story?  The Son of God, Jesus Christ, is alive today, but why is this important?

Why does this make us happy?  By rising from the dead, Jesus has given us a new way to know Him. He wants to give His new life to us, with His healing and hope.  And did you know that eggs are a symbol of new life?

Jesus can be our friend and help us every day.  He will give us peace and happiness that are out of this world.  In every season of life, He is only a prayer away.
