Happy Easter!
Just remember, for all the focus on Jesus on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, he wasn’t alone on either day. He was one of many crucified by the Roman government, and as he died on Golgotha, two men died on either side of him. Despite the Christo-centrism of Easter, it took centuries for him to be widely recognized as a) the son of God and b) the son of God who was unjustly killed for what amounted to sedition. Instead, on the day he died, he was to Romans just a criminal—and to a small group of friends an inspirational leader.
The point being: anyone can lead the life Christ led during the three years of his ministry. Being Christian isn’t a precondition for being kind. Believing in God isn’t necessary for selflessness. All that’s needed is a sincere belief that your actions have an effect on the world around you.
