The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10
Christ is Risen! And nothing has changed that.
Easter dresses have been hung in the back of the closet and Easter candy sugar highs have given way to midweek work lulls. Easter is over. But is it? We celebrate Easter once a year, but we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord every day. When the shadows of life’s struggles creep into our hearts, we can joyfully reflect upon the enduring resurrection.
“The resurrection demonstrates what it means that Jesus of Nazareth came into this world as its light (John 1:8-9). His resurrection means these days, just as on Easter morning, that He lights up our lives on the darkest days. He radiates the heavenly light which shines through from His throne and through His empty tomb with the stone rolled away into the lives of His people here. This means we can see the illnesses of our children, our own troubled health, the emptiness of old routines, the vacuous nature of much of what we have to do in a different light. His resurrection has given us life as members of our heavenly Father’s family. We know that in the midst of whatever troubles and threats the Devil throws at us, as he tries to return us to darkness, we see resurrection light shining from the end of every tunnel. Even (or especially) as death crowds in upon us, life with our Lord and our Creator sustains us, buoys us, and carries us through.”
- Rev. Robert Kolb
May the resurrection of our Lord Jesus be your light today.
See you Sunday - I can’t wait!
Pastor Austin

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19–21
