The takehome Easter message is 'pay it forward' ...

I love the movie, Pay It Forward, starring Haley Joel Osment, Kevin Spacey, and Helen Hunt. I think the take-home message of Easter is ‘Pay it Forward’. Jesus’ death is not the last word.  The experiences of Jesus’ followers who witnessed his love and healing compelled them to tell others of God’s tremendous, unconditional love. It is the Risen Christ spiritually alive in our world that gives us hope for a better world. When you and I love another as Jesus loved us [John 13:34] then we are ‘paying it forward!’
