The Resurrection of God

Today, we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Over the past weeks, we've walked through the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus, and today we arrive at the heart of our faith – His triumphant resurrection. In Mark 16, we witness the moment when Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome discovered the empty tomb and heard the angel proclaim, "He has risen!" This miraculous event affirms that Jesus is the Messiah, fulfilling the prophecies of Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53.

The resurrection is not just a historical event but a living hope that transforms our lives today. Despite the initial disbelief of His followers, Jesus' victory over death reassures us that God's promises are true. Let us hold fast to this hope, especially in times of doubt and suffering, knowing that our faith is rooted in the unshakable truth of the risen Christ. As we leave today, may we carry this message of hope into the world, boldly proclaiming the good news of Jesus' resurrection and living as witnesses to His transformative power.
