Easter 2025
My hope is that you walked with Jesus through Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. These events show just how far God goes to reach us and save us. Then comes….
EASTER!! ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!! CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!!! ALLELUIA!!!!
That Easter greeting has been shared in some form or another for almost two millennia! That’s a long time! This Good News is still worth sharing—to someone for the first time, or the 100th! God’s actions in Jesus that long ago are still good for us, and for all who follow us. We can’t be the link that breaks the connection between Jesus and future generations.
My last post on this site talked about taking on something for Lent. How did that go if you attempted it? I hope it lead to some different thinking during these past 6 weeks.
Now I hope that the Good News of Easter leads you to some different thinking as well. That you are loved and redeemed by God. You are a beloved Child of God. That those promises made to you at Baptism are still working in and around you. And, if you’re not baptized, I invite you to find a place to worship and see about doing that. I know I would love to have that conversation with you, as would any of my Christian colleagues.
Remember that Jesus was born, lived, preached, healed, taught, was arrested, tried and crucified, and rose again because of the love and grace of God. All this happened for you! All this is still good for you!
You are welcome here at Bethany anytime.
ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!! CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!!! ALLELUIA!!!!
