Easter Sunday AD 2026

Mary Magdalene believed she had lost everything when Jesus died—He had given her new life, and without Him, nothing seemed to remain. Even the thought of His lifeless body was a last comfort, and when it was gone, her grief felt complete and hopeless. Yet her despair reflects a deeper truth about humanity: we feel lost without God. But unlike us, God never loses hope. Out of His love, He sent His Son to restore us—not only to forgive, but to give us new and greater life. The resurrection of Jesus transforms everything. What seemed like the end becomes a new beginning: death is not the final word, and in Christ, hope is never lost. What Mary thought was the loss of everything was, in truth, the beginning of eternal life—for her and for all who believe.
