At the heart of Jesus’ teachings, we find liberation, love, mercy, and grace – all of which are meant to be very good news for us all. Emulating Jesus and embodying his teachings should ground us in who God created us to be. This Easter, let us remember that the good news really is good news. It is joyful – like fine wine saved for celebration, It grows like a mustard seed and multiplies like loaves and fishes passed through a hungry crowd. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy. The good news is alive in the world – may it root our hearts and lives in the expansive goodness of God, and inspire us to take action in a world desperate to hear, see, and taste what is good.
