"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." (Ro. 6:4).

Eggs are a symbol of new life and this is why they're associated with Easter. But eggs are also associated with the paradoxical question of, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?"

In the Book of Leviticus we read about the Hebrew Festival of Firstfruits: "...bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the Lord so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath." (Lev. 23:10-11). Since the firstfruits of the spring harvest were dedicated to God, that made the whole crop holy. Just as we are all justified through the death of Christ and raised to new life through Him: "And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Cor. 5:17)

Going back to Leviticus, what day was appointed as the Feast of Firstfruits? It was the day after the Sabbath, after Passover -- Easter Sunday! Jesus rose to new life on the Feast of Firstfruits and that's why the Apostle Paul not only calls Jesus our "Passover lamb" (1 Cor. 5:7), but also the "first fruits" (1 Cor. 15:20). Not only that, but Sunday was considered the first day of the week, because it was linked to the first day of creation. That was the symbolism of the Firtsfruits and it is also the symbolism of Easter.

So, when we look at an Easter egg, we don't have to ask, "what came first?", because we know Who came first, and because of Him, we are a new creation. The things that happened before don't matter because they were nailed to the cross on Good Friday and now Easter Sunday is the beginning of something new.

Happy Easter everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone!

"For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them... For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. ... He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever." (Isa. 9:4-7)

"And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." (Gen. 12:2-3)

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! … God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them.” (1 Cor. 5:17-19)

Happy Easter!

"Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." (1 Cor 5:7).
