The sun (Son) rises on you, too

Easter is not for Christians; Easter is for everyone.

The one we Christians call our Christ once said of God: “He makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous” (Gospel of Matthew 5:45).

Why? Because, the Christ said, God loves everyone.

The life and love God gives, God gives to all. Cheerfully. Freely. Giddily. Recklessly. Wastefully (as some would say), but what good is omnipotence if one can’t use it on something like love?

No matter your ethnicity, your morals, your nationality, your politics, or your religion, the sun (Son) rises on you. It is God’s pleasure to love you this way.

Nobody can tell you the sun won’t rise, so don’t let anyone tell you that the Son did not rise for you and will not rise for you again and again and again.

Happy Easter.
