This power of hope was prophesied long before the actual events took place more than 2000 years ago, this history is alive and well and the meaning of the backstory of hope and of Easter matters still today, long until the earth is no more, and our life, the very one that is hopeful we will choose for our soul to live on in eternity- with who fulfilled the prophecy and showed the ultimate act of unconditional love in the most undeserving and sacrificial way.

Welcome yes, I am so glad you are here at Lifestyle of Daily Joy. Thank you for choosing to take your precious time out of your day to listen to episode #20 “Why Easter Matters + The Power of Hope Part 1 of 2 as I would like to conserve your time, there is two parts to this and I am praying that your spirit and soul are touched and inspired from what you hear and experience and it is also my prayer, this story as a whole regarding this amazing, most giving and loving person that you will get to hear about…. moves your heart in such a way you have never been moved in your life before.

If you would like before we get started to go ahead and grab your favorite nutritional snack and beverage as well as a pen or pencil and some paper so that you can write down what catches your attention, interest, or any takeaways you may have or possibly something that was impactful for you.

Okay, for part 1 I felt it would be best to focus on the back story of Easter, what all was taking place in the background if you will, the events happening that speak of and that lead up to Easter. As I felt this way would be much better for you so there isn’t so much information to absorb all at once and my thinking was that you then could appreciate all that you hear by having an opportunity to really take it in and have some time to process it before we move on with the story of Jesus, hope, and why Easter matters.
