“Alleluia! Christ is risen.”
“The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!”
Our Easter proclamation is the thing that allows us to have hope. We live in a world were filled with death and unhappiness. Yet on Easter, we proclaim our trust in a God who is able to bring life out of death. Nothing, not even death, is the last word, if God is our hope. The same God who raised Jesus from death is our God and no failure, hopeless situation, or obstacle to happiness and life is an obstacle to God. Jesus, God’s beloved son, assures we are put right with this God. Christ is risen!
Let us be filled with hope and possibility!
Love,
Whit+
