These days of Holy Week that mean so much to you seem to have little impact on the world around you. Maybe it’s because so many people hold an increasingly secular understanding of life. Perhaps it’s because those who claim to believe provide such a poor witness to what it all means. And it could be that it’s all simply too inconceivable to believe. After all, how can you believe that a human being was actually the Son of God? That he shared the fullness of God’s love so completely on the cross that it changes everything about everything? That he offers you what you absolutely need, but can never get on your own – a personal relationship with God, forgiveness, healing, a transformed life, joy, and hope that begins right now and lasts for all eternity? Yes, it’s hard to believe. Maybe even impossible. But, remember, it’s more real than reality itself.
