Easter weekend is the ultimate reminder that we do not have to be afraid. The world continues to manufacture truth to suit its own needs, wants, and twisted endgames.
So be it.
Politicians around the world from every state, from every nation, have so confused reality with spin that it forces us to question everything and trust even less.
But that is not all bad.
In the late 1950s, Edward R. Murrow was one of the first journalists of a new media era who was unafraid to note that while even when the facts are arranged neatly before us, we may still not have the truth.
And that's where we come in, my dear Christian brothers and sisters, people who must live by eternal truth in the shadow of the promise of a brave new world.
We have an opportunity to tell the story that is so much bigger than our temporary fears. We do a disservice to the story of Jesus every time we try to wedge it into a single day's news cycle. So on this Easter weekend, let us glorify the living Jesus by shining a light in this present darkness.
Let us embrace one another as confessors of Jesus, a common bond far more important than the score on the scoreboard.
Let us hold hands with one another and in unison say, "Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!"
For those seven words are the ones that will last when all others are tucked away neatly into museums, and the stories of history are told in clearer retrospect with introductions like, "Our vision was limited back then."
