We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4
Jesus died that we, like Him, could die: we died to sin, such that sin no longer has control over us. And Jesus rose to life that we, like Him, could enjoy eternal life, forever reconciled with God. Jesus died for us and rose for us, that we may praise and glorify God with our lives.
I often reduce Easter to thoughts of a long weekend and colourful eggs. I know that I always forget the heart of Easter. I need to remind myself of the point of Easter each day of my life. How about you?
