"But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep" (I Corinthians 15:20).
Anyone who has touched a dead body knows that "it is over!" The life is gone. To hope that it would live again is just nuts! To believe that one could ever meet that person again is crazy, yet even atheists cling to that hope that some how, in some way, the lost loved-one will be seen again.
Hope hangs in there long after optimism has given up and gone home. When life is at its darkest, hope is insane. It would be were it not for the fact that Jesus Christ has risen from the grave! His resurrection means that we will conquer life and death too! Easter is the season of hope! It is not crazy, it is audacious!
Grace&Peace,
