Yesterday was Easter Sunday for many Christians around the world.  It was the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Christmas is the day we celebrate his birth and recognize that he is God with. God embodied among us, living as one of us.

 Christians remember that Jesus taught and showed us how to live, that he performed many miraculous signs while he was among us, and that he developed close personal relationship with the men and women about him.

 We remember that he suffered and died on the cross and was laid in a borrowed tomb, like the lowliest of us.  But it is the bodily resurrection of Jesus the Christ that gives us the fulfillment of the hope of all people, life everlasting, life perfected, life in full relationship with the God of the universe. And it is that which we celebrate on Easter Sunday. Hallelujah! What a God!
