Most of us do not think of losing as a good thing. Losing is the last thing we want to do. Yet sometimes losing can be good. One of the popular reality series on television in recent years focuses on the biggest loser; it helps people who have become extremely overweight lose weight and then celebrates who loses the most weight. On that show being the biggest loser is being the biggest winner. With this thought in mind, as I read the Resurrection passages I wondered “Who’s the biggest loser because of Easter?” And is it a title worth celebrating or not?
