Easter and the Restoring of Hope
Hope is the ability to look into the future and see a future that we would find enjoyable and life-giving, and to have confidence that we have the resources to achieve that future.
 
Hope is an essential factor in happiness and the ability to live fully in this present moment.
 
It is impossible to have hope when we are weighed down with grief or resentment and we look into the future and only see more of the same or death.
 
Jesus came that we might have life, not less death. Easter is about the good news that nothing in our past, nor in our future, not even death can separate us from God's love. In this is the essence of hope and the freedom to live life to its fullest.
