For those who are celebrating this wonderful day, Happy Easter. Do you need a reason to celebrate? Whether you are Christian or you are pagan or you are atheist, the resurrection story is still a tale of hope and redemption.
Consider the conditions : his followers were hiding. His 2 best friends betrayed him, one by leading the soldiers to his location to capture him, the other by denying association 3 times. The Romans bent their own rules to permit his execution. The religious leaders chose a man who was nominally the opposite of all their values in order to make certain they destroyed their rival.
And the main hero was tortured and killed.
These conditions are pretty much as hopeless as they get.
With him rising from the dead, leaving the stigmata in place as scars, the ultimate game change happened there.
No matter what, there is always hope.
