Easter Hope
On the first Good Friday, the government executed Jesus
because it was convinced that by claiming to be the Son of God, He might foment
a revolution against it. He did foment a revolution, but it was in the hearts
of men and women. The Roman government had not heard of a revolution of the
heart, so it condemned Him to death by crucifixion.
What does Easter mean? Easter means that there’s hope for
the dead. If there’s hope for the dead, there’s hope for the living. But like
the colonists who fought the oppression of the king, we the living can only
achieve our hopes if we have freedom. And that requires a government that
protects freedom, not one that assaults it.
