I’m not sure who linked Easter with chocolate, but what a brilliant move.

Chocolate is said to stimulate the same chemical reaction in the brain as love!
Easter is about love, but it’s a bit hard to see in the mess.
A group, trapped in a never-ending cycle of cynicism and violence, destined to destroy themselves. At their core, a cancer of mistrust and rebellion.
In walks a Stranger not infected by this cancer – who tries to show the people how to live again. Yet they kill Him due to suspicion and jealousy.
But here’s the twist – the Stranger knew this was what they would do – counted on it – and because He paid a debt He did not owe, He reaps a reward He’s free to share; eternal life.
God showed His love for us in this – while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
