1 00:00:00,523 --> 00:00:04,000 This is not the best of times in the life of the planet 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,596 or in the life of the human family. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,477 Wherever we look there seems to be trouble. 4 00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:11,621 To the point where it's tempting to say, 5 00:00:11,621 --> 00:00:13,528 "Let's cancel Easter this year." 6 00:00:14,258 --> 00:00:17,387 Because hope in such a hopeless situation 7 00:00:17,387 --> 00:00:20,273 seems to be no more than an empty word. 8 00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:23,319 But in such a troubled moment, 9 00:00:23,319 --> 00:00:25,681 it becomes more important than ever 10 00:00:25,681 --> 00:00:27,751 for us to look to the truth of Easter. 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,475 But no matter how troubled 12 00:00:30,475 --> 00:00:32,259 our life may be 13 00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:34,887 or how troubled the planet may be, 14 00:00:34,887 --> 00:00:38,285 that there is a hope that is grounded in the fact 15 00:00:38,285 --> 00:00:42,486 the Jesus, who dies on the cross on Calvary, 16 00:00:42,486 --> 00:00:45,308 which gathers up all the hopelessness of the world. 17 00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:48,515 The Jesus who dies is laid in the tomb 18 00:00:48,515 --> 00:00:50,267 and is raised from the dead. 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,680 And therefore there is a hope that nothing and no one can destroy, 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,499 it cannot be killed. 21 00:00:58,068 --> 00:01:02,369 And that's why Easter in a moment like this which seems hopeless, 22 00:01:02,369 --> 00:01:05,770 in fact proclaims the hope which is our life.
