Promise
In an age when words of fear, retribution, and anger dominate the news and fill our ears, words of hope, forgiveness, and love seem an idle tale at worst and unbelievable at best. Yet the promise of the Risen Lord is that hope, not fear, has the last word. The promise of the Risen Lord is that forgiveness, not retribution, has the last word. The promise of the Risen Lord is that love, not anger, has the last word.
