Hope that lives in you and me and anyone else who chooses it—that’s what was released early one Sunday morning when the tomb was found empty. Jesus didn’t walk out of his grave to cheapen this life with a first-class ticket to another world. He did it to dignify this life by bringing heaven to earth and to dignify you by giving you, right now in the midst of the mess, a unique, tailor-made, participatory role in that redemption.
