What does Easter mean to you? Thoughts from first graders

I wanted to post a few of my students' thoughts concerning what Easter means. They were really deep and meaningful, and they blessed me with their thoughts today.

Easter means to me that Jesus is risen from the tomb. He died on the cross and the people got Jesus' body and put it in a tomb and put the rock in front of it. And then he was risen. The rock moved!

It means to me... that God loves all of his children, every single one of them. It also means that God died for our sins and rose on the third day.

Easter is the day of Jesus' resurrection. 3 days after he died on the cross. He did it all for sin. When you go to heaven you can see his scars. Jesus did nothing wrong to be crucified. But he paid for our sins so we could go to heaven. He saved the world.

Easter means that Jesus died for us. And because he died for us is because he loves us so so so so much. And he will never ever stop loving us. That's what Easter means. Easter is not for candy. It's for God.
