Well… yes and no. Christ is a mystery. Salvation is a complex gift. The beauty of it is that Jesus meets us right where we’re at and grows our confidence in salvation. It’s a journey. Expect it to be odd.

If you go into your Monday assuming someone will offend you AND you have a grace account of allowance budgeted for it, you’ll be more like Jesus today.

(Doubting and believe, that is)

I’ll believe it when I see it! Jesus shows off his wounds to (doubting) Thomas but says there’s even greater blessing in believing without seeing.

There is no barrier that Jesus cannot work around. He’s all about showing up in the fear. He brings peace — not solutions, not quick fixes, but something better… harmony, unity, the ultimate repair. Peace fixes it. Let him in.

Who told you about Jesus? Who have you told? Today’s the day to share your story of how the gospel is working in your life.

We’ve got our work to do, too — though the biggest job is done in the empty cross and tomb.

The empty cross & empty tomb changes everything. Well… one thing it doesn’t do is change our past BUT it changes how we understand who we were in light of who we are in Christ. Paul says it’s all grace. That’s how it is with us, too… only by grace.

Physical. Literal resurrection. Victory over death.
