Summary
We've turned Easter into a celebration of hope, fresh starts, and empty tombs… but what if we've missed the real weight of it?
This episode strips away the soft edges and gets to the raw truth, Easter is not just about resurrection, it is about replacement. It is about a guilty man walking free while an innocent man takes his place. It is about the cross being more personal than we want to admit, and grace being far more costly than we like to believe.
