This month we are approaching Easter Sunday which we often call Resurrection Sunday, for it is a remembrance of that first Easter Sunday on which Jesus Christ our Lord rose from the grave. While it is good and right for us to celebrate Easter each year, perhaps we also need reminding that every Sunday is a resurrection Sunday. Indeed, each Sunday that we gather is a continued celebration of the Risen King and of our expectation of His return to rule and to reign forevermore.
Scripture teaches us to pair the reality of death with the promise of resurrection. Our mortality brings clarity and accountability to our daily lives, but the promise of glory brings hope, courage, and endurance. No matter how bleak today may seem, no matter how painful suffering may be, and no matter how dreadful death may appear, glory is just around the corner.
