“I mean, that was one of Yeshua’s favorite sayings. Take heart. He used to say it to all sorts of people. He said it to his disciples when they were overcome by fear. Said it to a paralytic man with no hope for healing. Said it to a woman who had been sick for twelve years. Take heart. “Take heart when you are afraid. When you are overwhelmed by trouble. When you are ashamed. When you are hopeless. When you are despondent. Take heart. “Not an empty, meaningless phrase, you understand? Because Yeshua never wasted words.”

“She stared at the pyramid, a shrine to the power of death, to its finality, its implacability and inevitability.

But there was one who had overcome death. Pierced it as he had been pierced, conquered it as he had been conquered by a brutal cross.”
