The most profound thing about our Christian faith which is best expressed as an Easter faith, is that we all can have hope for whatever may be dead in our lives because of the resurrection of Jesus.
Imagine the disciples thinking that the mission of sharing and expanding the kingdom of heaven was done, ruined, over. They were sad and depressed, like a bunch of out of work fishermen.
Then all of a sudden, on Easter morning, the joy of victory is snatched from the jaws of defeat. Jesus was raised. Wow! If a guy who was beaten to within an inch of his life, and then was crucified can now be alive again, then any tragedy, any dilemma and any disappointment can be overcome. After all, if God can raise Jesus from the dead, then resurrecting our problem back to hope is a piece of cake.
It doesn't matter if you've lost a job, lost your marriage, or feel that anything else in your life is dead, God can transform it into something new and hopeful. It may not look like what you expected, but once you realize what God is trying to give you, you are overwhelmed with joy and happiness.
What is broken in your life? What seems dead and impossible in your life? Tell me about it. I can assure you that God is with you in the midst of the dark days and troubled times, and that if you give your life to Christ, God will find a way to resurrect your life to new heights of splendor, happiness and fulfillment.
Blog back, let me know what's going on in your life. Thanks.
