Nearly 2,000 years ago, a simple wooden cross and an empty tomb served as the setting for the greatest rescue mission in history—the good news of a loving Father going to great lengths to save his broken children. Every year at Easter, with a joyful shout of  “Christ is risen!” we declare again the climax of this great story. Although Easter only happens once a year, the truths behind it are big enough to shape our lives every single day.
