<p>In today’s society, a lot of families think Easter is more about rabbits and chocolate, rather than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Bob Lepine explores various traditions of Easter, and points out the true meaning of this holiday — Jesus died and rose again so we can live forever with him in Heaven! Then Champ Thornton wants to inspire children – and their parents – with fascinating Bible facts, biographies of great Christians, humor, trivia, and more! He believes kids need to integrate their faith with the “real world” all around them and learn how to discern between godly truth and cultural perspectives.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2025-04-18?refcd=2457003">12 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Easter</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2026-03-23?refcd=2457003">The Really Radical Book for Kids</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.focusonthefamily.com/faith/coming-home-an-invitation-to-join-gods-family/?refcd=2457003">Coming Home</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/how-to-read-the-bible-as-a-family/?refcd=2457003">How to Read the Bible – As a Family</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://sf.fotf.com/cq2drp">If you enjoyed listening to Focus on the Family Weekend, please give us your feedback.</a></p>

<p>My dad was a hard worker on our farm and in the factory but not necessarily a handyman. Sometimes when a tractor or furnace or plumbing failed, a neighbor or friend would offer to fix it. Dad offered to pay even though he knew he couldn’t afford as much as they deserved. But they wouldn’t accept anything; they just loved to help. He would gratefully say, “Thanks. Until you’re better paid.” I’m not sure what he meant. Maybe he or someone else would do something for them later.</p> <p>Believers in Jesus who serve others because of their love for Him will one day be rewarded. Perhaps that’s a form of “until you’re better paid.” Jesus told His followers to “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20). Doing good to others may be one way to store up some of those “treasures.” He said we shouldn’t announce it “with trumpets”; if we do, that’s all the reward we’ll get (v. 2). We can be confident He sees us. The book of Hebrews reinforces this idea: “God . . . will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” (6:10).</p> <p>We don’t serve for rewards but rather because Jesus loves us and in response we express our love and praise for Him. What a blessing it will be to hear God say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (25:21, 23).</p>

<p>Judas had every opportunity to turn back — but he didn't. In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld walks through John 13:20–30, tracing the final moments before Judas leaves the upper room to betray Jesus. It's a sobering portrait of what happens when a heart grows so hardened that even the outstretched hand of Jesus is refused — and a warning that the darkness we choose can eventually become the darkness that owns us.</p><p><em>Passion:</em> Easter is a pivotal time in the life of a Christian. The foundation of our faith relies on the death and more importantly, the resurrection of Jesus. This 15-message series will prepare our hearts for the Easter season as Dr. Neufeld walks us through the various aspects of the time leading up to Jesus’ death. Talking about the stories of Jesus in the week leading up to his death, also known as Passion week, ought to awaken our own passion of service, thankfulness, and worship. This is a series you won’t want to miss!</p>
