How Will You Respond to Easter?

Rebecca Hagelin's article, "The Challenge of Easter: How Will You Respond?" describes how life-giving sacrifices in response to evil are acts of love for others.  It draws on the recent movie, "Act of Valor," and points to Jesus.  It then talks about possible responses to those 'acts of valor' -- something we each deal with on occasion, but something especially brought into clarity by Easter. 

How will you respond to Easter?  How will I?  It's a valid question and worth asking.  The response to that question can be life-changing, and no matter where you stand in your response to Easter, how you respond sets direction for your life that is consequential. 

I've responded in the affirmative, but even so, the article reminds me of timeless truths that still affect my life and my daily decision-making if I act on them with gratitude. 

So take the challenge, and in the spirit of the article, have a Happy Easter!
