Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.
The resurrection gives us hope that what is gone can be restored, what is broken can be mended, and what is lost can be found.
Easter is a time when God turned the inevitability of death into the invincibility of life.
Easter teaches us that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope and a chance for a new beginning.
Easter is the promise that, no matter how bleak our circumstances, there is hope for renewal and new beginnings.
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness.
The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances.
