“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” — 1 Peter 1:3 Each spring, Easter arrives with the warmth of longer days, the fresh bloom of flowers, and the beautiful songs of birds returning. It is a season of renewal, new beginnings, and the return of hope after winter melts away.
As a Christian, I see Easter as the keystone of our faith that anchors our enduring and unshakable belief. Without the resurrection, the structure of belief would crumble. Yet because He lives, our faith stands strong, offering the promise of eternal life.
This season is a powerful reminder, for all of us, that even after the darkest times, the light of God’s love is always there waiting for us. Easter is a time of grace, renewal, and service. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a miracle from the past, it is living proof that redemption is always possible, no matter how difficult our circumstances may seem.
This truth shapes not only our personal faith, but also how we serve our family, our community, and the Commonwealth. Just as Christ gave of Himself for others, let us carry that same spirit of renewal and grace into our everyday lives. This season, we are reminded to live a life of purpose and service, to reach out and uplift one another, to serve our neighbors and communities, and above all else, to love each other.
