I-Easter ingumkhosi obaluleke kakhulu ebuKristwini.NgokweBhayibheli, uJesu, indodana kaNkulunkulu, wazalelwa emkhombeni.Lapho eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu, wakhetha abafundi abayishumi nambili ukuba baqale ukushumayela.Iminyaka emithathu nengxenye, waphulukisa izifo, washumayela, waxosha izipoki, wasiza bonke abantu abaswele, futhi watshela abantu iqiniso lombuso wezulu.Kuze kufike isikhathi esimiswe uNkulunkulu, uJesu Kristu wakhashelwa umfundi wakhe uJuda, waboshwa futhi waphenywa ngemibuzo, wabethelwa amasosha amaRoma, futhi wabikezela ukuthi wayezovuka ezinsukwini ezintathu.Impela, ngosuku lwesithathu, uJesu wavuka futhi.Ngokwencazelo yeBhayibheli, “UJesu Kristu uyindodana yokwenziwa kwenyama.Ekuphileni kwangemva kokufa, ufuna ukuhlenga izono zomhlaba futhi abe yimbuzi yomhlaba”.Yingakho i-Easter ibaluleke kakhulu kumaKristu.

AmaKristu akholelwa ukuthi: “Nakuba uJesu wabethelwa esiphambanweni njengesiboshwa, akafanga ngoba enecala, kodwa ukuze enze inhlawulo yezwe ngokwecebo likaNkulunkulu.Manje usevukile kwabafileyo, okusho ukuthi usephumelele ukusihlawulela.Noma ubani okholwa kuye futhi avume isono sakhe kuye angathethelelwa nguNkulunkulu.Futhi ukuvuka kukaJesu kumelela ukuthi ukunqobile ukufa.Ngakho-ke, noma ubani okholwa kuye unokuphila okuphakade futhi angaba noJesu kuze kube phakade.Ngoba uJesu usaphila, ngakho uyayizwa imithandazo yethu kuye, uzonakekela ukuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke, asinike amandla futhi enze zonke izinsuku zigcwale ithemba.“
