Light overcomes darkness. Good overcomes evil. Jesus was put to death on a Roman cross. Christians celebrate this triumph of the good over evil every Easter. But Easter is more than ritual observance.
Christians draw upon the power of the Resurrection daily.
They also believe that Jesus Christ continues to be present with His followers as they worship and witness in His name. People are drawn to the Light of Christ like storm-driven sailors to a beacon, like winter travelers to a warm fire. People are drawn to Jesus because love and truth appeal more than hatred and deceit. They do not lead us toward life but toward death. And even when we justify hatred or deceit, for ourselves, or for others, a glance at Jesus makes us regret, or even question the necessity.
