Easter has Come!


The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. There is no need to search for the living among the dead. We weep no longer.

See what love the Father
has bestowed on us
that we may be called
the children of God.
Yet so we are.
The reason the world
does not know us
is that it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1

I am going to my Father, and your Father, to my God and Your God
John 20:17b


In this moment we ask ourselves, "Will the world recognize us as the children of God? What lessons have we learned from this Way of the Cross? How will our lives change because of what we have witnessed? The greatest sacrifice has been made on our behalf. Never have we been asked to be worthy, only willing. By God's infinite grace, we are given favor. Are we ready to live the Resurrection? How will we make ourselves known in this world?

Amen.
