Hope is a precious commodity in life. If someone has hope they get through just about anything. But there needs to be a basis for hope. There needs to be a reason for hope. Thankfully, Easter offers us more than blind or naïve optimism. It offers more than a hope that is ignorant of reality. In fact, the hope Easter offers is only enhanced by the harsh reality and difficult circumstances life often presents us with. The message of Easter is not simply that Jesus is still alive. It’s that he has risen from the dead. It’s that Jesus is indestructible even against the forces of death and, as a result, so is the hope he offers. Because he is alive, hope is alive!
