While I'm not into celebrating Easter I'm not surprised by this as our country slides deeper into sin and away from God.

Gosford NSW, Australia.

A church has been forced to remove the word 'Jesus' from its signs ahead of Easter because it has been causing offence.
Elim Church on the Central Coast in New South Wales paid for digital signs to be displayed at Erina Fair shopping centre reading 'the greatness of His Power'.
Pastor Martin Duffy told 2GB radio that shopping centre manager Lendlease objected to the signs and forced them to be changed to read 'Risen Christ' instead of 'Jesus'.

Elim Church on New South Wales' Central Coast paid for digital signs to be displayed at Erina Fair shopping centre reading 'the greatness of His Power'

'The phrase 'Jesus is alive'... is the core message of the Christian faith and what Easter's really all about,' he said.
'It's a good message. I think there's a minority group out there that are constantly distorting the message of Jesus Christ. It's just going on and on.'
Elim Church is a West Gosford evangelical church located north of Sydney.

Pastor Duffy claimed Lendlease requested to withdraw the word 'Jesus' from the sign as it may have offended shoppers and non-Christians.
The sign was an advertisement for a free community event being held on the waterfront at Gosford.

'The greatness of His Power - Jesus is Alive!' the sign read.
Pastor Duffy said Lendlease has since changed their mind and allowed the word 'Jesus' to be included in the sign.

He said Lendlease said the word 'Jesus' has yet to be added to the sign but he is hopeful it will be returned eventually.
In a statement, a Lendlease spokeswoman said they regretted asking for the sign to be amended.
'It was an error of judgment to ask Elim Church to change its messaging, and we apologise unreservedly.
'Lendlease values diversity and inclusion, and we welcome people of all backgrounds at our shopping centres.'
