"While It Was Still Dark"
Easter Sunday
March 27, 2016
This Sunday we will hear once again the story of Mary Magdalene's early morning visit to the burial place of Jesus. (John 20:1-18 - You can read it by clicking here.) Of course, she discovers that the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. His death was merely the prelude to new life.
Can the figurative "deaths" that we experience throughout a lifetime also be understood as preludes to new life? Could it be that in the midst of pain, loss, or failure God is preparing us for resurrection - bringing forth new life? Join us as we reflect on what the Spirit might be up to in us "while it is still dark".
See you on Sunday!
