We revere sports figures, CEOs, and entertainers. We try to elevate our own status. Yet we forget that the most powerful among us are those who forgive, those who love, those who seek to elevate others; that the One who was the most powerful on earth overcame death on a cross, and never needed earthly power, but heavenly power. Help us to seek the power of the cross, the power of love and forgiveness, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
