The Easter story is an amazing account of Jesus overcoming death by walking out of the tomb into new life. Resurrection is a source of hope and abundance for all of us because it means that the worst parts of our life-story aren’t the end of our story. Jesus has given us His victory of Resurrection so that we might have new life and life everlasting. The Easter story isn’t something we only remember, it’s also something to celebrate and live into today. As we live out the Resurrection, our life-story becomes a part of the greater, ongoing Easter story that is still unfolding today. As we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, we know that the tomb is empty and we are invited to live like it!
This week, we explore these reflection questions:
When have we had an experience of realizing Jesus has been journeying with us all along?
How is God inviting us to live into the hope and the power of the resurrection?
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Luke 24:13-35 (NIV)
