Living The Easter Story
The death of Jesus and His final words…
“IT IS FINISHED” have left the disciples reeling!
While Jesus meant one thing, His disciples
heard another, and for three days
They were left living in their own tomb of despair.
Holed up and up and locked in and hiding out in fear,
they dreaded tomorrow and what it will bring.
For them, Jesus is dead, the mission is over,
and all has been lost!
How this happened is beyond them,
and this is the ending they never saw coming!
But then, there is MORE TO THE STORY!
Where the story is finished it’s just not over!
Where DEATH has surrendered to LIFE!
Where DARKNESS has been overcome by LIGHT!
Where DREAD melts into PEACE!
Where DOUBT is silenced by FAITH!
Where DESPAIR give ways to HOPE! (and)
Where DEFEAT is swallowed up in VICTORY!
There is MORE TO THE STORY!
And ultimately the MORE in the Story
is when we realize that…
The Story is finished – It’s just not over!
It’s when we realize the MORE of the story
is Christ being RAISED to life in us!
Christ is Risen! (and) I Am Risen indeed!
