The Message of Easter

For Christians around the world, it is the sacred feast of Easter, when they commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ.
So, let's put aside the political and social differences that separate us - whether Christian, Jew, Moslim, Hindu, Buddhist or non-believer - and focus for this weekend on the message, if not the feast, of Easter.
It is simple and can be taken to heart and applied by anyone, of any set of beliefs. It is that God loves us and was willing to make a great sacrifice Himself to show us His love.
To live within the love of God, however you see Him or Her, is to live a life that is open to others, that wants good for every person, that finds good in everyone and tries to bring it out, that makes the effort to be open to others by being kind to them.
Love, after all, is what most of us search for all our lives. But, there it is, right in front of us. The love of God for each of us, just waiting for us to accept it and apply it in our daily lives.
So, to my dear readers - Happy Easter and/or happy weekend to each of you. Reach out in the next day or so and love someone, do something nice for someone. Be a child of God's love for you.
I'll be back on Monday with my political commentary.
