It is Easter in the year 2018 and everywhere we see 'He is Risen...Alleluia'.
It is a time of glorious celebration...going to Mass...(yes...I'm still Catholic); Easter egg hunts; wearing our Sunday best...etc.
Whether you're a Christian; Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic...etc. Jesus remains one of the more powerful, inviting, uniting, spiritual, compassionate and at the same time, controversial figures in history.
Whatever our opinion of Him is; we cannot deny His ultimate act of sacrifice.
To give His life for another, whether it is one or many...Jesus acts of kindness, compassion and non-violent solution to problems of the day should serve as an inspiration to us all.
His love for children and his unique way of reaching out and embracing those that society deems unworthy and unacceptable is a lesson that we should all embrace.
He gave his life so others can experience love...tenderness...mercy...grace.
So, tomorrow is the Monday after Easter and what will we do?
Jesus does not want us to look up to Him...he wants us to rise and look Him in the eye and tell Him what we're going to do to serve our fellow woman and man.
And to tell Him; that we're willing to make our own sacrifices in order to make this a better world.
That's what he made His sacrifice for.
So; is it time to rise? Or...is it just another Monday?
