This is the first Easter to fall on April Fools Day since 1956. It begs the question: Is Easter all just a big joke? Wishful thinking? Sentimental nonsense? Is He—in fact—Risen?
Optimism and hope are different. Optimism is the thinking that based upon our experience, things will get better. Hope looks at experiences and grapples with the reality that God is still working when things don’t look good at all. #Resurrection
