Two truths are a powerful comment on the state of Western Christianity:
1. Jesus never commanded or taught or implied anything close to the celebration of an Easter Sunday Holy Day though He spoke often about His death and resurrection before they took place and though He spent quite a bit of time with His disciples between the time of His resurrection and His ascension.
2. Nearly every community of believers I am aware of today has reduced the powerful, magnificent and challenging truth of His resurrection into nothing more than an excuse to hold the best worship extravaganza it can produce--one Sunday each year.

Read the Gospels. Being a disciple has nothing to do with going to church. We need more Jesus and much less church.
We must repent.
