Easter Meets Empire

This Easter, Leah invites us to see resurrection not just as personal salvation, but as a profound act of resistance to Empire. In a time when powerful voices long for modern-day Caesars, Leah contrasts Ancient Rome with the Divine Kin-dom Jesus proclaimed—a vision built not on domination but on relational connection and justice. Through Matthew’s resurrection account, she highlights how God entrusted women—not imperial soldiers—with the first gospel message, and how those on the margins were the true messengers of hope. She also warns of how the lust for control can corrupt even the most spiritual leaders, and calls us to resist with clarity and compassion. Ultimately, Easter reminds us that Jesus didn’t return to rule with an iron fist—he rose to empower a diverse, justice-driven movement. This is resurrection with relevance. This is Divine Kin-dom rising.
