A Living Hope, part 1

We have just celebrated Easter, the greatest day in history - but what now, where do we go from here? Or how do we live our lives, in gratitude to God? Because of the resurrection we know that our hope is alive. This is not a hope in a nebulous future, a far-off paradise, with no pain or sorrow. Yes, it is true, heaven is a place of no more tears or pain. But we can live in the eternal now. Our hope is for today and that hope should reside in and determine the ways in which we conduct the lives we have been given.
