If the death of Jesus means something, then I think the doorway to a better understanding is one word. Spoken by Jesus with His last breath, just before He gave His Spirit to His Father.
Tetelestai — "It is finished" (John 19:30) — may be the most significant word ever uttered across the stratosphere. The single most important statement in all of human history. Spoken by the innocent and dying only begotten Son of God. Tetelestai is a stake driven into eternity, which stands there still, and the kingdom of darkness is powerless against it.
How is the Cross of Jesus Christ, the merciless death of a Galilean carpenter, both the power and the wisdom of God?

Right now, prisoners are struggling with feelings of loneliness, isolation, and despair. But we can reach them with the hope of Jesus Christ by sending as many Bibles as we can, as quickly as we can. Your gift today to Prison Fellowship will put Bibles and Christian content into the hands of waiting prisoners. The demand right now is unlike anything we have ever seen, and there's nothing short of a revival happening behind prison walls! We have an amazing opportunity to reach men and women with what they need most: God's Word! Thank you for remembering those in prison. |

April 15 — This year, Christians of all denominations will celebrate Easter (or Pascha as it's known in Orthodox churches) on the same day, a rare alignment of the Julian and Gregorian calendars. This coincides with the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, which established key Christian doctrines and sought unsuccessfully to unify the date of Easter. Churches Together in England (CTE) issued a statement celebrating the occasion. (Christian Today) |
| April 15 — In Uganda, the Way of the Cross unites Catholics, Anglicans, and Orthodox Christians in a reenactment of Jesus' Holy Week journey to Calvary. Organized by the Uganda Joint Christian Council, the processions symbolize Christ's sacrifice and promote unity, faith, and national reflection amidst Uganda's social and political challenges. This year's rare alignment of the Easter date provides additional significance to the celebrations. (Religion Unplugged) |
| April 15 — In Nicaragua, Holy Week is proving far less joyous than usual, marked by government surveillance and repression under the Ortega regime. Public processions are banned, churches are monitored, and clergy face restrictions, with many exiled or silenced. Yet despite the risks and challenges, Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes preaches forgiveness and hope, emphasizing faith's resilience. (Aleteia) |

We all want a bit of joy. But the thing is, joy is different than happiness. Happiness is based on circumstances, like buying the latest car or whether your politician won or eating a piece of chocolate. Happiness is external.
But joy is transcendent. Joy comes from God. |
