To paraphrase that esteemed tome of knowledge, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:  A long time ago people were total jerks to one another, fighting over land, food, and in general being mean to each other.  Then one day this Jesus fellow came along and said:  "Wouldn't it be a pleasant change for us to be nice to each other for once?"  for this they nailed him to a tree.

If that were the end of the story, then we would be a pitiful species indeed!  A random accident of an insane universe on an insignificant rock in an insignificant corner of an unremarkable galaxy.  Merely waiting on the next accident to wipe us out without even noting the event.

But that was not the end of the story.  Eleven men hid themselves away. They had been hoping for a military leader to start a new empire, toppling the current establishment.  But instead they saw their leader brutally executed by  the very system they thought to overthrow.  Even the people that cheered their entry into the capital turned on them and clamored for the spectacle of death, and got it.

There was no hope.  Only a large stone, guarded by trained soldiers of the most powerful military force on the planet.  All that was left was to hide and hope that no one would remember who they were.  Maybe they could slink back to their old lives as commoners. With any luck they could die without anyone making of them additional examples of what happens when you challenge the religious / political establishment.

Then something happened.  These eleven came out of their shells and turned the world on its head.  Not through force of arms or acts of terrorism, but through something else.  Even when they were killed one by one in the hopes of silencing their message it was not silenced.  More came to take their place, and many of these also met a gruesome fate.  But in the end their message has stood over two millenia, despite concentrated attempts to either corrupt or erase it, even from within...

And so I wish you a happy Resurrection Day!  May the light of God and the Holy spirit enter you and bring you home!
