The spirit of Easter lies in reputable leaders drawn to serve in humility

Easter is where divine love meets human criminality. It is here that crime meets the cross. At the most excruciating part of the Easter story, justice is sandwiched between two thieves. Justice is the fresh ham between two pieces of bad bread. The two pieces of bread look alike outwardly, in that they both are of criminal colour. But a bite reveals that they are inwardly different - one has a repentant taste, the other an arrogant one.

A handful of our national leaders are reflective enough to come home to sense. But the majority are arrogant, do not care to conceal it and even proceed to be proud of the arrogance.
