The great message of Easter is that the long prophesied Man of Sorrows is also the God of Hope! Jesus, the Risen King, is able to sympathize with us in our sorrows so that we might also share in His resurrection (the greatest hope of all!). If that's true, what might that mean for your life? This year, as much as ever, we need hope -- real, weighty, solid stuff that we can sink our teeth into, collapse upon in exhaustion, and build our lives on. Hope that does not disappoint but makes all the difference. So this Easter season, what are you hoping for? And what is God calling you into?

He is risen. He is risen indeed!
