Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1:3-5)

Well if you were to ask me one word that I think of when I think of Easter, the one word that comes to my mind; it would have to be: Hope. As I look backat the Easter messages that is the resoundind message, that is the resounding word that is on my heart.
