Running to Easter

Easter is God's guarantee that the values of life worth preserving will be preserved and cannot be perversely destroyed. That life has the last word over death. Love is the victor over hate. Truth lives in place of falsehood. Tenderness lives in place of brutality. Good lives in place of evil. It was not a metaphor or some vague hope when Jesus said he was the resurrection and the life. It means that death has no power to take you from the arms of the Father. Whatever bad news you face. You have a resurrection coming.
