"Easter was never just about personal, private salvation. It means something for you, yes—but it doesn't stop with you. Easter is about God upending the whole order of things—the systems of violence and self-promotion and otherizing and death—and showing a different way to live. bell hooks wrote: "The moment we choose to love, we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love, we begin to move towards freedom." That's what Easter announces. The way of love is not a sentiment—it's a way of life, and a reordering of the world. And we are invited to embody it."
