When was the last time you were lonely? Were you around people, but still feeling isolated or alienated? Had you experienced the loss of a friendship, other relationship, or the death of someone dear? Had a difficult circumstance made you feel like “nobody knows what I’m going through”. Has fear ever made you feel as if you were alone? Abandonment and isolation are crippling human conditions, perhaps the most critical human problems of all. Easter is about more than our salvation into the life hereafter. Jesus returned to life from the dead and continues to live for us. He also continues to live with us. The good news is that we are never alone.
