This holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This is significant because only a divine authority can reverse death. David French wrote an essay about how resurrection in another sense. His story:
How about one last quick story? There was a young woman from Tennessee, and she too was lost in despair. She had been victimized as a kid by a pedophile preacher. Her best friend died in a terrible car accident. A former boyfriend almost choked her to death in a brutal late-night attack. She hated Christianity. There were times when she felt dead inside.
Then she went to church with her new husband, a man she rushed to marry and barely knew. In Times Square Church in New York City, she heard about Christ’s resurrection power, and the flame of life filled her soul. Everything changed.
That young woman from Tennessee is Nancy, my wife, and she’s alive now and for all eternity because of the event we celebrate today.
