True discipleship is not measured by how much Christian information we can recite or by simply holding the label “Christian.” It is a whole-life apprenticeship to Jesus, where we learn to live as he would live in our circumstances. This requires moving beyond consumption and self-improvement to a deep, ongoing commitment to follow Jesus in every aspect of life.

Easter is a time when we find ourselves, much like the diverse crowd at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, waiting to peer into the empty tomb and discern its meaning for our lives. For some, Easter is the cornerstone of faith, while for others, it may seem like a relic of the past. Yet, the resurrection story is not a mere fairy tale; it is a narrative filled with real people, real emotions, and real encounters with the risen Christ.
