On Easter, God turns bad news into very good news. Christ on the cross enters into the depths of human brokenness and wrong and suffering, and it all ends in death—an apparent total defeat. But through it all God brings about victory. Having atoned for our sin on the cross, Christ breaks the power of evil and death, and rises on Easter into new and eternal life. So Christ opens the way for all of us into a bright future! We may encounter a considerable amount of bad news in our lives and in the world at large. But Easter declares that the bad news is not the end of the story. God through Christ brings us through trouble and death into a new future. So we can open ourselves to the saving power of Christ, and find in Christ a sure and everlasting hope!
