“I think that the message is, no matter what the world may do to you unfairly, no matter how you’re crucified - nailed to the cross at home, or in your personal relationships, or on the job - that you can rise if you don’t lose yourself during the hard times and the challenges. The story of Jesus on the cross. No matter what they humiliated him with. No matter how they mocked him he took it, because he knew he could rise. And the story of Easter and my message for this Easter session is no matter what unearned suffering you go through, that if you know you can rise above it, don’t become like the diseases that you fight. As I looked at President Obama at our convention last Friday, where all he took he’s been able to rise politically again. I’m not comparing him to Jesus, but I am saying that to every crucifixion there is a resurrection for those who believe.”Remember. Reverend Sharpton is - in no way - suggesting there's a similarity between Barack Obama and Jesus Christ. He's just saying that they're both people who have endured crucifixions and risen. No comparison there!
