As we stand on the brink of unprecedented challenges, it’s essential to reflect on the message of Easter.
The world may be in turmoil, but we must continue to strive towards a future of peace, prosperity and community. The farewell discourse from the Last Supper, though criticized by some, leaves us with an open ending and invites us to ponder our role in shaping a future as yet unwritten.
This Easter, I hope everyone can enjoy a well-deserved break with their families. Let’s use this ‘pause’ to strengthen our focus and objectivity, ensuring our story contributions are filled with peace, prosperity, and unity.

In this week before Easter, I’m reminded of an old joke: Pontius Pilate said to Joseph, ‘I don’t understand, Joseph; you are a wealthy man and you have spent a fortune building a tomb for yourself and now you have given it to this pauper named Jesus,’ and Joseph replied, ‘It is only for the weekend.’ Easter weekend is upon us and the act of kindness from Joseph has endured for more than a weekend—for 2,000 years. Easter carries a message of rebirth, of starting over in the spirit of a God that forgives our transgressions while asking us through our actions to do better and to be better. John 14:27 records
Jesus’s words at the Last Supper, the farewell discourse, as being: ‘Peace I leave with you, and the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.’ All I can say is that Jesus got everything else correct; so I know he will again be right. Yet the world is on the brink of tribulations I have not lived through before and had hoped I never would experience. Some biblical scholars have criticised the farewell discourse as having been written too late after the event, leaving the ending of the discourse open. One would think that was the point. What is the ending? Will it be community and prosperity as we have enjoyed in this beautiful country for hundreds of years or will it be another Dark Ages, this time with the stain and stench of neo-feudalism, violence and immoral relativism, which is really just nihilism repackaged as woke agenda. Will those who think they are too smart for religion succeed in destroying real religions? That is the ending that was not made clear. How could it be? The ending has not been written and we can add just one part of it.
I hope this Easter everyone has a nice break and, in the real world, with our families to strengthen our focus and objectivity, ensuring our contribution to the unwritten ending is peace, prosperity, family and community.
And a happy Easter to you Malcolm and everyone at one nation
Thank you Malcolm. This is a timely message to those who have forgotten the meaning of Easter.
Thank you Malcolm for all you do. You are a true inspiration to so many and I do my very small part knowing that there are leaders like you who do care about the people of Australia.
Many, many blessings of peace and joy on you and your family this Easter.

Thanks Senator Roberts for reminding us that Jesus is the reason for the season. If he hadn’t died and ROSE, we would all be hopeless. I pray that he protects you and your family.
Thank you Malcolm for your Easter message; much appreciated. Indeed we need to take heed of what Jesus said and did – and continues to say and do.
As far as the ending – we know the ending is in God’s hands, as He reassures those of us who are with Him, in the Book of the Revelation: That God has a very good plan for His Creation which includes the elimination of all wickedness. 🙂
Dear Malcolm, thank you for your comments in parliament. Happy Easter to you and your family.
I am NOT impressed with the governments at both state and federal in their efforts to crush Christianity. I have acquaintances in some of the other religious groups who don’t understand what is happening with Christianity and believe that nothing of the sort will be happening to them. Please tell me whether their assumptions are correct and, therefore, are only Christians being targeted. Why is religion being targeted at all and why are so many terrified of Christianity and what it stands for.
Because He humbled Himself and became obedient until death, even the death of the cross, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and those under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus the Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Thank you Malcolm 💯.
Thank You Jesus ❤️
