For me he is a master teacher, spiritually evolved, whose influence gave man the opportunity to share love, acceptance and forgiveness instead of guilt, hate, fear and revenge. He changed the one God concept from a God to be feared to a Creator that provided man with the Christ spirit within, everything needed to live in harmony in the created universe. I celebrate the hope he gave to those within reach of his teachings, the power of his stories and lessons, and the fact that we are not born in sin but rather in the image of our creator, pure and full of possibility with this spot on earth but a moment in life everlasting. Easter is a great event for the Christian world, a time of spiritual rebirth and hope for renewal in the spirit with which Christ taught "...the greatest of these is love." It is a time for Christians to share that love with those in need and put aside their own prejudice, judgments and condemnations that reflect human nature, not the Christ spirit.
