TEMPLO DE LA CRUZ
I Am the Resurrection (April 7, 2020)
We are preparing for our Easter celebrations in a much different fashion this year as we shelter-in-place and consider how to gather around the Resurrection triumph without gathering together in our usual tribes. These are challenging times for many, and pondering the truth of the Resurrection may not necessarily be chief among the many things competing for our focus. Yet, while most of life as we know it is on pause, the reality of Resurrection Day has not been delayed or dismissed. Sunday will still come, and we, the children of God, will still have an incredible reason to celebrate!
Easter Sunday has become a great tradition which reminds us that no matter what darkness we may face, Jesus has broken its power to destroy and devastate us. We are not immune to troubles nor are we guaranteed a life free from suffering and pain; but in our suffering and in our pain, we have hope that we are not alone and that it is temporary. We belong to the One Who has triumphed over the grave, and that is truth worth celebrating!
