What is our witness to the world about a resurrected Christ? I hope the resurrection changes our worldview as much as it changed Peters! Our world needs our witness as the church to proclaim that Easter offers hope and forgiveness without limitation.
It's hard to imagine that even Jesus' friends were skeptical of the resurrection, but honestly, what are the odds? People are still asking questions and doubting the resurrection of Jesus, but He made accommodations for Thomas and others, that offer us great hope!
Alleluia! He is risen! An empty tomb is what Easter is all about, however, it turns out the tomb was not empty. This year we give thanks for the not-empty tomb of Easter!
