Easter is the day that makes every other day have purpose, meaning, significance.  Without the resurrection of Jesus, every other intervention of God, as dramatic or sentimentally endearing as they may be are of no ultimate consequence.  Without the sacrifice of Jesus–dying for our sins–there would be no forgiveness.  But even the death of Jesus would not save if the Father had not raised the Son to life.But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead. and “Because He lives, we also shall live”.  The world is forever changed becasue Christ the Lord is risen.  And our hearts are forever changed when the life of the Risen One is risen in us.
