These events highlight the power of positive virtues such as light, joy, and compassion over their darker equivalents. Jesus’ sacrifice symbolizes hope and the strength of goodness even in the face of despair and darkness.
"For us who are Christians, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is proof positive that love is stronger than hate, that life is stronger than death, that light is stronger than darkness, that laughter and joy, and compassion and gentleness and truth, all these are so much stronger than their ghastly counterparts."
