"Easter" is such a pretty-sounding word, isn't it?
It instantly makes many people think of a variety of joyous
images such as springtime, sunshine, blooming flowers,
pretty dresses and bonnets, colored eggs, cute baby chicks and
adorable, little bunny rabbits.

It also brings to mind for countless millions the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the grave.
They say this is the holiest time of the year, because yes, the
Creator of the universe, Jesus Christ, is alive
on His heavenly throne after spending three days and three nights
completely dead.
I could not agree more with people becoming aware of the story of
Jesus' death and return to life. It shows us the path to becoming born
into the actual Family of God, as the Bible indicates many sons and
daughters will be brought to glory as the immortal "children of God."
But brace
yourself, because there's a very dark side to this centuries-old
tradition, and it has to do with the famous Ten Commandments of God.
The very first commandment of the Big Ten is perhaps one of the
most overlooked in everyday life.
In just eight words, it states: "Thou shalt have no other gods
before me." (Exodus
20:3)
Sounds simple enough. Christians would never put another god in
front of the true God who made the universe – right?
Wrong.
