Easter holiday is time to heal and preach humility

It was Mahatma Gandhi who made the often cited quote, “I could accept Jesus as a martyr, an embodiment of sacrifice, a divine teacher, but not as the most perfect person ever born. His death on the cross was a great example to the world, but that there is anything mysterious or miraculous in it, my heart could not accept.”

Like Gandhi, there are many serious critics and ardent cynics who find the belief in death and resurrection of Jesus a cockamamie and a fraud. They readily assign Jesus a distinct place in the hall of fame, but more ground they cannot cede. Yet, in this, the mark is widely missed.
