A Grave Situation

Summary

The resurrection of Jesus reminds us that death is defeated, that God’s power is greater than our darkest moments, and that new life is always possible. The hope of the resurrection is for all who believe, and it transforms how we see the world and how we live our lives. This Easter Sunday, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, rejoice that Jesus is likely to turn up when we least expect him, we acknowledge that we live lives of faith journeying toward understanding, and we declare that there is hope for us in the now and in the hereafter. When we face grave situations, the empty tomb of Jesus reminds us, as Bill Gaither sang: Because he lives, I can face tomorrow; Because he lives, all fear is gone; Because I know he holds the future, and life is worth the living, just because he lives. May we live into the hope of Christ’s resurrection, today and always.
