How to Share the Message of Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus
Easter is the heart of the Christian message. It’s the celebration of Jesus’ death and resurrection. It’s a message of hope, new life, and the power of God. Sharing the message of Easter is one of the greatest ways to let others know about Jesus. You don’t need to be a Bible expert. You just need to be willing. Here are simple ways to share the full gospel of Jesus Christ this Easter.
1. Know the Message
Before sharing the message, understand what it is. The gospel is the good news about Jesus. He came to save us from sin. He died on the cross and rose from the dead. Because of Him, we can have a new life and a restored relationship with God.
A simple way to share the gospel:
- God loves us – He created us and wants a relationship with us (John 3:16).
- Sin separates us – Our sin breaks that relationship (Romans 3:23).
- Jesus saves us – He died and rose again to restore us to God (Romans 5:8).
- We respond – We accept this gift by believing and following Him (Romans 10:9).
When you understand these truths, sharing becomes easier.
2. Share Your Story
Your story is powerful. People connect with real experiences. Share how Jesus changed your life. What was your life like before you met Jesus? How did you encounter Him? What has changed since?
Be honest. You don’t need a dramatic story. Even simple stories of peace, forgiveness, and hope can touch hearts.
Example: “Before I knew Jesus, I felt lost. When I learned about His love and forgiveness, everything changed. Now, I have hope, even when life is hard. This hope comes from knowing Jesus is alive and with me.”
3. Use Easter Moments
Easter opens natural ways to talk about Jesus. Use what people already know. Many know Easter involves Jesus, but not everyone understands why it matters.
- Egg Hunts and Family Gatherings – Use these times to share why Easter means so much to you.
- Social Media – Share Bible verses, your testimony, or encouraging posts about Jesus.
- Cards and Gifts – Give Easter cards with a message of hope. Include a Bible verse like Matthew 28:6: “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.”
When people ask about your Easter traditions, take the opportunity to share your faith.
4. Keep It Simple
Don’t overcomplicate things. Share the message in plain language. People don’t need fancy words or deep theology. They need to know Jesus loves them and offers new life.
Instead of saying, “Through the atonement, we receive justification,” say, “Jesus died to bring us back to God. He forgives our sins and gives us a fresh start.”
Speak from the heart. Be clear. Be kind.
5. Rely on the Holy Spirit
You are not alone when you share the gospel. The Holy Spirit empowers you. He gives boldness, wisdom, and the right words.
Pray before you share. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words and open hearts.
Jesus promised in Acts 1:8, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses.” Trust that power.
6. Invite People to Respond
Sharing the message is not just about talking. It’s an invitation to follow Jesus. Don’t be afraid to ask, “Would you like to know Jesus personally?”
When someone is ready, guide them in a simple prayer:
“Jesus, I believe You died and rose again. I ask for Your forgiveness. I want to follow You. Thank You for loving me. Amen.”
If they say no, keep loving them. Trust God to continue working in their hearts.
7. Live the Message
Your life speaks louder than your words. When people see the joy, peace, and love of Jesus in you, they become curious. Be a living example of the resurrection power.
- Show kindness to others.
- Forgive quickly.
- Serve people in need.
Let your actions reflect Jesus’ love.
8. Use Scripture
God’s Word carries power. Share key verses about Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Here are a few to use:
- John 11:25 – “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
- Romans 6:4 – “Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – “Christ died for our sins… He was buried, that He was raised on the third day.”
These verses focus on the heart of the Easter message.
9. Pray for Open Doors
Ask God to give you opportunities to share. Pray for specific people in your life who need Jesus. Trust that God will open the right doors at the right time.
Colossians 4:3 says, “Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message.” Your prayers make a difference.
10. Keep Going
Not everyone responds right away. That’s okay. Keep sharing. Keep praying. Every seed you plant can grow in time.
Galatians 6:9 encourages us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Trust that God is working, even when you can’t see it.
You Can Share the Message of Easter
Sharing the gospel is a privilege. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being available. Jesus is alive, and His message changes lives. As you step out and share, you bring hope to the world around you.
Pray. Share. Love. And trust God to work through you. This Easter, let the message of Jesus shine through your life.
