March News Letter

As we start out this month of March it’s not to early to begin preparing ourselves for the celebration of Resurrection Sunday. There’s something special about Resurrection Sunday when we give added focus to Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the grave. The first disciples didn’t know this joy until after they had experienced the events that led up to Christ’s resurrection. Can you imagine what it would be like to watch Jesus’ arrest, crucifixion, and burial not knowing of the triumph that was just three days away? Today as we look around our country and this world there is a lot to be bothered by, but imagine if you can what it would be like if we didn’t have the hope of the Resurrection, and that hope that we have in Jesus. The disciples didn’t grasp the gospel or the power of it until after that first Resurrection Sunday. Not knowing the power of the resurrection, they spent the week before jockeying for position (Luke 22:24), sleeping when they should be praying (Matthew 26:40), fearful of suffering (Mark 14:50), and sorrowing in loss (John 20:2). For us today we know better. We have Hope, we know how story ends, and it ends with victory!

God Bless, and have a Happy Resurrection Sunday!
