In the season of Easter, I’m reminded of God’s love that has brought about the redemption of mankind—the kind of love that transcends time and circumstance. Easter is a time of remembering and celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. It is also a testament to God’s redeeming love for humanity.

John writes in his gospel, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” This scripture is a message of hope in the midst of all the brokenness and uncertainty around us.

Just as Jesus offered hope and demonstrated His love to us through serving and sacrifice, we are also called to offer the hope of Christ by serving those in need, and to sacrifice our lives and comforts so that others may live and be comforted.

May this Easter season remind us that even in the darkest moments, it is Christ’s love that will prevail. As you remember and celebrate Easter, may you be reminded of God’s redeeming love for mankind and demonstrate His love to those around you.

All of us here at Plain Compassion wish you a blessed Easter filled with joy and the warmth of God’s love.
