Some of you know that I was on ABC on Sunday morning to talk with the host (and several million others) about Easter.

I was happy with the interview. I told the story of the women arriving at an empty tomb. I said that Easter illustrates that God's love is the most powerful force in all of the world—and that God's love is our ground for hope in hard times. I invited people to church to sing the hymns of the faith and to hug someone. All good.

But in looking back, I wonder: what should I have said? If you would have had my opportunity, what would you have said?

Perhaps I should have said that Easter is not a historical event, but something that happens everyday—in "ordinary" resurrections in our lives. Maybe I should have used the time to talk about how the same God who raised Jesus from the dead is a God who cares passionately about people who are suffering and dispossessed—and that Easter is about living our lives with the same priorities. Maybe I should have talked about Jesus' forgiving love—that Jesus took on the sin of the world in order to break its power.

You never imagine that you'll have one minute to tell millions of people about the meaning of Easter. But what if you did? What would YOU say? And more than that... does the life you live now match your beliefs? May it be so.
