Easter is the reason we are Christians.
Our faith depends upon our belief that Jesus did not die into nothingness but into eternal life, into which he calls everyone of us. From eternity, which saturates the entire universe and is closer to us than we are to ourselves, Jesus now calls and empowers us with his grace to live lives of justice, peace, hope, joy and love. Here and now, in today's world, Jesus calls and empowers us to bring forth the reign of God on earth. There is no greater call, no greater hope, no greater love that we can offer the world.
To the risen Jesus, the eternal Christ, be all gratitude, praise, honor and love, now and forever.
