They were sad and uncertain.
Huddled in their houses.
Not quite sure exactly what was to come next.
Life no longer worked like they expected it to work.
“Lost” didn't begin to describe how they felt.
And if trauma had been invented, they all would have been diagnosable.
The first Easter.
We are sad and uncertain.
Huddled in our houses.
Not quite sure exactly what is to come next.
Life no longer works like we expect it to work.
“Lost” doesn't begin to describe how we feel.
And trauma is a thing now, and we all are probably diagnosable.
This Easter.
And Jesus meets them where they're at.
He reveals himself to the confused and the doubters and the failures.
He walks through the locked doors.
He invites them to contemplate the wounded God.
He makes them breakfast.
He calls them to mission.
That is God's work among his people on Easter.
