He is risen! There is no question about that!

Today we mark the day that Jesus walked out of our final sentencing and into new life. Isn’t that exciting? He walked out of the grave! He is alive! Hallelujah, what a Savior!

This whole season of Lent we’ve had to examine our humanity. We’ve mourned our sin. We’ve struggled in our hunger. We’ve repented of the natural evil within us. And all of this had walked us to one of the most prolific and efficient death machines that humanity ever designed - the cross.

But the cross could not keep Him. It sent Him to death so that He could pave our way to life! When Jesus walked out of death and into resurrection, he modeled for each of His followers exactly what we will get to do someday as well. Because of this, today we will feast and celebrate the new life that Jesus brings each of us! The ashes and dirt that we are will be made new, along with the rest of creation thanks to the mighty works of God. Amen!

In the risen Christ,
