You know what Easter is? It's a father looking at those who murdered his son and saying, "I forgive you."

You know what Easter is? It's a God looking at the mess we've made of our world and ourselves and saying, "I'm going to give you a way to make it right."

You know what Easter is? It's the Creator looking at Death and saying, "I think I've changed my mind about you."

You know what Easter is? It's the whisper in the darkness, in the midst of fear saying, "I am here. . . .with you."

And all of Creation trembles in wonder, and delight.
