Happy Easter.
Easter begins with betrayal, blood, public humiliation, a mother forced to watch, and a man nailed to wood while the crowd mocks him.
Christianity conquered the world by looking straight at suffering, evil, guilt, and death, then made its claim from the darkest place imaginable:
that even here, God did not abandon us.
That is why Easter still matters.
Because it says the worst thing is never the last thing.
That despair is real, but not final.
That the stone was heavy, the tomb was sealed, and still it did not hold.
If you remove the horror of Good Friday, Easter becomes sentiment.
If you face it, Easter becomes hope with scars still on it.
And maybe that is what this age needs most.
Not vague optimism.
A reason to believe that death, failure, sin, and grief do not get the final word.
