Throughout history, humanity has longed for rescue from oppression—a theme reflected in stories and legends. Christianity uniquely fulfills this longing through Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection are celebrated at Easter. Unlike other religions that focus on rituals and rules, Jesus offered forgiveness and a direct relationship with God through grace. He simplified the law to loving God and others, freeing believers from burdensome religious requirements.
Jesus’ life was foretold by ancient prophets, and His death and resurrection were prophesied with remarkable accuracy. Unlike religious leaders whose deaths ended their influence, Jesus’ resurrection was witnessed by many, including groups of disciples and 500 people at once. The apostles, having seen the risen Christ, devoted their lives to spreading this message—most even dying as martyrs, which testifies to their conviction.
Easter is not just a tradition but a celebration of the pivotal event that changed the world: Jesus’ resurrection. This event is one of the best-supported in ancient history and offers hope and proof of God’s love and power. Through Christ, all are invited to move from despair to hope and from death to new life.
