40 Best Easter Bible Verses That Will Remind You of the Holiday's True Meaning
These religious Easter messages honor Jesus's life, death, and resurrection.
Easter is one of the most important holidays for Christians. As one of the main tenets of the Christian faith, Easter honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. According to the Easter Bible verse Luke 24:6-7, “He has risen!” In celebrating Christ’s resurrection (or in other words, “bringing Jesus back to life,”) this also marks what Christians believe as Christ’s victory over death. It’s said that when he is resurrected, eternal life is also given to Christians who follow him. Easter is a time for Christians to be reminded of Jesus’ great sacrifice. His sacrifice was to be crucified for the sins of the world, and ultimately his death. This is also why Christians give something up for Lent and make their own sacrifices.
If you're not a devout Christian, to you, the holiday may be about Easter egg hunts, cooking and eating Easter food, making Easter crafts, or even the Easter Bunny. If you're looking to deepen your faith this spring or learn more about the Easter story, reading these best Easter Bible verses is a good place to start. Through each Easter Bible quote, you'll learn more about the meaning behind the holiday. These religious passages may also help you with a little personal reflection and inspiration — practicing Christian or not.
