Easter

The following words are framed and hang above my computer in my office. The author is unknown although I have read similar comments credited to several different persons. They inspire me daily.

Hope is stronger than memory.
Salvation is stronger than sin.
Forgiveness is stronger than bitterness.
Reconciliation is stronger than hatred.
Light is stronger than darkness.
Resurrection is stronger than crucifixion.
The open tomb is stronger than the bloodied cross.
The risen Lord is stronger than the dead Jesus.
Easter is stronger than Good Friday.
Hope is stronger than memory.

We are the Easter people.
We are the people of hope.
We are the people of the open tomb,
The risen Lord, and new life in Christ.
