Easter is the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, after his crucifixion at the hands of the Romans. The miracle of the resurrection is the most important miracle of the Christian faith. When Jesus rose from the dead on the first Easter morning, he showed his followers that the hope he proclaimed in his Gospel message was real, and so was God's power at work in the world. Jesus serves as a key example that in the face of adversity, it is through love, forgiveness, and nonviolence, that we all wield true power, the kind that topples the institutions of oppression and sets us all free. 

 

As Milwaukee’s Christian community celebrates the glory of Jesus Christ, I ask that all of us try to live up to His example and let us all be strengthened by His eternal love.  

 

From my family to yours, I’d like to wish you a Happy Easter. 

 

Sincerely,

Gwen
