So the story goes, His friends found an empty tomb on the third day; Jesus’ body was no longer there. Later, he would appear to them in Galilee; and elsewhere; and would tell them, “Do not be afraid, but believe…”

This is the central message I receive on Easter:

Do not be afraid. Believe.

Love wins.

From the darkest moments we face, light prevails.

Suddenly God is in the room with you. We are not alone. He is risen!
