Seems like every year at Easter time there is a long line at every mall to see the Easter Bunny. It is as if people think that the Easter Bunny is what Easter is actually about. My friend and I often have joked about this in the past saying that we should wish people “Hoppy Easter.” The last couple years we talked about how it would make a good Gospel tract. This year, I decided to make the tract. Amazingly when I searched online on google for “hoppy easter” I found the image that we ended up using on the tract and it even said “Hoppy Easter” on it. The picture was royalty free, so we decided to use it for the tract.
Here is a good story that you can use to talk to people about Easter. The best egg is an empty egg! You see when people do Easter egg hunts, they often put candy, money or toys inside the eggs. The kids love to find these and gather what is inside. However, when the egg is empty, it reminds us that the tomb was empty on Easter Sunday as well. That is the message of Easter. An empty tomb because He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed.
The Hoppy Easter tracts are in the April mailing of the Bezeugen Tract Club.
Nice tract…it is always hard to tie some things together.
I had drawn a picture at the garden tomb with 2 rabbits sitting off to the side. Peter and Andrew are peering into the tomb and the behind the rabbits is a little basket with several small colored eggs which has been left and spilt over. The caption below said: “They weren’t looking for eggs…”
I never thought it may become a Gospel Tract idea…but that is a longer story.
God Bless you and to everyone else…let’s share Christ…today.
Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we can develop it into a tract for next year!
