Easter
When her brother died, Martha tells Jesus he could have prevented it if he’d shown up sooner. That’s an emotion every one of us who follow Jesus will likely feel in some season of our lives.
Have you ever felt like Jesus was a “no-show?” It may seem that way to we who are constrained by time—but both time and death submit to a word from Jesus. And those words are available today, not just the future. Easter reminds us that there is not just hope for the future, but hope in the here and now—in every space we invite Jesus into. Not all hope need be deferred.
