The enthusiastic Sunday School teacher looked at the class of four-year-olds and asked this question?  “Does anyone know what today is?”  A little girl waved her hand, “I know, I know.  Today is Easter Sunday!”
 
The teacher replied, “That’s great!”  Then the teacher asked, “Does anyone know what makes Easter Sunday so special?”  The little girl responded, “Because Jesus rose from the dead.”  Before the teacher could congratulate her, the little girl added, “And if He sees His shadow, He has to go back in for seven weeks.”
 
Folks, listen close.  Easter is important for one simple, yet profound reason – Christ is alive!
