Yesterday was such a beautiful morning. Whether you just stepped outside for a few minutes or had energy to get dressed up for family Easter pictures or went to a church that had a drive in service, you had to have noticed the glory of a beautiful Easter Sunday.
You may have already thought about this, but I think that yesterday, more than any Easter Sunday, was much more like the first Easter. Life was so uncertain for the disciples. They were not gathering together in massive crowds to celebrate. Instead they were in hiding — fearing for their lives. Nothing made sense. The future was incredibly uncertain and they had no idea how things were going to play out now that Jesus was gone.
It was in the midst of this uncertainty and confusion, fear and doubt, that they were made aware of the resurrection. On that day they saw that their past made sense and that their future was brighter than ever. The thing that they had spent years fearing turned out to be the ultimate game changer.
Because of the resurrection we can plan on that day coming for us as well. We can hope that during what some are calling “The Great Pause” that we can come out of this knowing that we are different…. Better even … than we were before.
And in case she wasn’t with you yesterday, she can be with you today:
