Dear friends, acquaintances and business partners,
In a world characterized by rapid change and different beliefs, the meaning of Easter may not be clear to all of us. Perhaps some of you are wondering why we should celebrate suffering, death and resurrection. What do these ancient stories have to do with our modern lives? Do we even need them?
Easter is more than just a historical narrative. It is a message of hope that can resonate within each of us, regardless of our beliefs. It is about the experience of suffering and loss, but also about the possibility of hope and new beginnings, even in the darkest moments of our lives.
We all go through periods of suffering and grief when we lose loved ones or are faced with personal challenges. But even in these difficult times, we can find hope and comfort. We learn to accept what we have experienced and integrate positive thoughts into our lives.
The message of the Christian resurrection reminds us that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. It is the idea that, despite suffering and death, we have the strength to get up again and carry on. We find this strength not only in ourselves, but also in the people around us who support us and help us to find solid ground again.
For some, the term “God” may have no meaning, and that’s perfectly fine. You can simply replace it with “life and love”. Because ultimately, it’s about recognizing the all-encompassing idea of life and love that sustains us even in the most difficult moments.
Easter reminds us that life is stronger than death and that love always triumphs over suffering. It is a time to feel gratitude for life and for the people who support and accompany us.
With this in mind, I wish you all a happy and beautiful Easter filled with hope and joie de vivre!
Yours sincerely
Stefan Schütz
