The message of Resurrection Sunday/Easter is hope.  But as we read the story in the gospels, its amazing how easily hope can turn to despair…..even when the answer to everything is right in front of you.  We just don’t see the answer because we are looking down.  Today, we see how God meets us in our times of despair…..not just at Easter…..but all the time.  We are never alone, He is always with us, and Jesus brings us hope.
