The King, the Cross, and the Meaning of Easter

Who is really in control? In the panic of a crisis, our eyes might turn to world leaders, influencers or institutions to give us guidance. We wonder: Where can we find the help we need?
There is a story that speaks into our question. It's the story of a man the institutions rejected. It's a story of a man who was brought to trial yet refused to defend himself, punished yet was innocent, suffered yet remained in complete control, even when everything seemed most out of control. This is the story at the heart of Easter.
