This is not the best of times in the life of the planet or in the life of the human family. Wherever we look there seems to be trouble. To the point where it’s tempting to say, “Let’s cancel Easter this year.” Because hope in such a hopeless situation seems to be no more than an empty word. But in such a troubled moment, it becomes more important than ever for us to look to the truth of Easter. But no matter how troubled our life may be or how troubled the planet may be, that there is a hope that is grounded in the fact the Jesus, who dies on the cross on Calvary, which gathers up all the hopelessness of the world. The Jesus who dies is laid in the tomb and is raised from the dead. And therefore there is a hope that nothing and no one can destroy, it cannot be killed. And that’s why Easter in a moment like this which seems hopeless, in fact proclaims the hope which is our life.
