Easter transformation

"For me, the Easter story is about how Jesus transformed from a man who walked and ate and talked with people into something that couldn’t be killed—a set of ideas about how we should treat all people with love and respect; how we should care for those who are poor or hurting; give kindness when we want to take revenge; and love our neighbors as we love ourselves, even if our neighbors don’t look or sound or act the way we think they should. The man who taught these things was transformed into the teachings themselves—something that his companions could take out into the world to share".
