Easter is more than just a long weekend or family tradition— as we know, it's the cornerstone of Christian faith, the triumphant reminder that Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection change everything about how we live each day. The cross wasn't the end. The empty tomb proved that death was defeated and hope was restored.

Jesus’ final day—His suffering, death, and resurrection—was not just for that moment in history. It was for every moment of our lives now. In John 11:25-26, Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” This truth isn't just for Easter Sunday—it's for Monday morning, when life feels overwhelming. It's for the quiet nights when fear creeps in. It’s for the moments when we feel broken, unworthy, or lost.

Because He lives, we don’t walk through life alone. Because He rose, every failure can be redeemed, every hurt can be healed, and every day has eternal purpose. The resurrection means we live with hope that never dies, joy that isn’t based on circumstances, and peace that surpasses understanding.

Easter invites us to live differently—not just once a year, but every day—with the confidence that Christ’s victory is our victory. His final day gave us a brand-new beginning.

So today, and every day, we walk in resurrection power—because He lives.
