    In this powerful Easter message, The Rev. Dr. Alix D. Pridgen invites us to consider what burdens we carry—grief, regret, fear, doubt—and reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus brings more than celebration; it brings release. Through Scripture, story, and honest reflection, we're led to see how the risen Christ meets us in our heaviest moments, offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life. The tomb is empty, and love has the last word. Step into the light of Easter with resurrection confidence.

    The essence of holiness is loving God with one's whole heart, soul, mind and strength, and loving one's neighbor as oneself. When we don't love God with all that we are, and when we don't treat one another with love, there will be pain and sadness, but our loving God is at work to reconcile us.

    When we know that we belong to a loving, patient and powerful God, we can make it through the tough times, too. Scarred perhaps, but intact. Knowing that God is with us – and that God is reconciling our world, we can make it through Lent, and war, and financial crisis. We can make it through relocations, parenthood, divorces, cancer, the death of our children, difficult work, and all the other things that bedevil us and test our limits of faith and endurance. Because we belong to Jesus – into whose life and death we are baptized… we, too, can walk with courage and stamina and faithfulness and hope until that day when he takes us by the hand and leads us into the Promised Life to Come.
