Before this assembly, I didn't know very much about Easter besides the fact that it is celebrated in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus. Now, I have a new experience that I can reflect on to understand more about the meaning of Easter and how Christianity is associated with it. Many of the events that took place in the assembly focused on second chances and rising above the temptations of our lives. I'm not sure if this is correct, but I think that Peter is the reason why one of the main morals that Easter reminds us of is having a second chance. Although he denied his association with Jesus three times, he was still forgiven after Jesus rose from the dead. During the speech, it was told that God did this because He is a gracious God, so that through Jesus' dead, all sins are forgiven, which is why we have all received a second chance. Also, in Amazing Grace, it tells the story of John being forgiven by God, despite his blasphemous actions. This as also explained in the skit that Isaac and Reca performed for us. By ringing a bell, they could go back in time and undo a mistake that they made. Afterwards, George played a skit where he rose above the temptations of life. This is also important since during the skit, the voice of God supported him and told him to get up. It shows the help that God gives us all throughout our lives. I don't really understand the concept of the trinity, but I get that God is above all. He made everything, and he knows everything. So, even if one being in this family of three infinitely powerful beings were to die for us, I think that it would be more than enough to pay for all of the sins of man. I am still unsure of my faith, but I understand the depth of the importance and impact that Easter has to everyone, whether they are Christian or not. Even if you don't believe in God, everyone's goal is usually to be a better, more pious person, which is what Easter reminds us of.
