A day to prepare for sunday! And EASTER!!!!! Yeah I love Easter!! Candy, Candy, Candy,

Wait one second this isn't suppose to be a secular website is it now... NO it's suppose to teach about Christ, but you are in luck... let's see why on Earth we celebrate Bunnies and Candy instead of Christ in an analogy I'm going to make up as I type!!!

So today Candy is going to be Christ... see they both start with a C... okay okay that's not why Candy is Christ, but rather because initially the candy is hidden in eggs and we have to run around searching for those eggs. Likewise Christ is hidden in the scriptures and if we don't search we won't find. Amos 8:11-12 teaches us "they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it." Luckily though, we no longer need to worry about not being able to find it. It's right in front of us in the Book of Mormon and Bible, now we just simply need to search out the truth. It's there... what great truth comes from this knowledge!


Second we will relate the easter bunny to the Holy Ghost! Now don't say "BLASPHEMY" quite yet... hear me out. Who is always there to help us find those candy filled eggs? The Easter Bunny, who is there to help us find Christ??? The Holy Ghost. Their rules within this analogy hold truth to both sides! The Holy Ghost will ALWAYS be there to lead us back to Christ if we earnestly want his help!

Now to end I just want to add in the side analogy to the importance of finding Christ in the scriptures which can be compared to the eggs. As you open your eggs scriptures great things are found within. We are told to "feast upon the words of Christ"(see 2 Nephi 32:3), likewise we have a chance to feast upon lots of candy this Easter season, but don't ever forget the true meaning of what easter is all about... CHRIST!!!

If you are "Going through Hell" still looking for the egg today maybe this post will help. That's all today more to come tomorrow. Stay tuned for some more gospel related basketball topics!!! Oh how I love basketball!!!

I decided to extend fun Friday to last instead of just this Friday but all of this wonderful Easter month! Each day I will be hiding this ! Once you have found it go leave a comment in my new guest book(at the very bottom of the page entitled Elder Walker's Easter Egg Hunt) where you can let us now "YOU FOUND IT!" Also feel free to vent if you can't find it... We like to hear that the Easter Bunny hid that egg well! That way we can make it oh so fun for the all of us! Each day I hear the Easter Bunny will move it to a new location so Happy Hunting!
