there is no command in the New Testament to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. However, neither is there a command not to celebrate or memorialize it. Consider this. If we could only have those religious worship times and activities that the New Testament specifically mentions, then we would be able to do almost nothing in terms of worship and Christian ceremony. None of the apostles are shown to have performed a wedding ceremony or conducted a funeral, for example. There are no examples of church services such as we have them in our churches. But these are a part of our lives, and Christian experience and worship.



The central issue regarding Easter observance is this: How much freedom do Christians have in the new covenant, either individually or as a church, to express their faith, worship and thanks toward Christ in forms not found in the Bible? Are Christians free to innovate in worship? May church leaders establish special days to celebrate the great acts of salvation?



True, the Bible nowhere tells us to celebrate Easter. But, as mentioned earlier, it also nowhere says not to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on this day. The fact is, the Bible gives examples where God permitted human beings to set up times and forms of worship other than what he specifically commanded
