Apart from a natural inclination to prolong the human species, it can be argued that there's little point to our existence beyond trying to enjoy the fleeting moments of our lives. Eat, sleep and be merry. Yet, as Dr Phil. might say, "how's it working for you"? It seems that even for those who've "made it", there's surprisingly little happiness. In contrast to this secularist belief, the Christian message of Easter is filled with hope and promise, both for the here and now, and for eternity.
