Romans 8:18-27; Matthew 5:1-16 The fullness of the resurrection requires more than a day to unpack. The Easter season is a fifty-day celebration that ends on Pentecost Sunday (the Greek word pentekoste means “fiftieth”). The Easter season is a time to let the implications of the resurrection sink in deeper, inviting us to realign our worldview and conform our living to the reality that we have been raised with Christ to new life. Easter is full of joy and the laughter of love— the grave is empty, love has won, Christ is risen! Give yourself over to the experience of that joy—take in the absolu
John 14:25-28 God’s very character is one of justice, and he has given us Jesus as the manifestation of his justice both now and for eternity. God is the one who reveals the justice calling upon our lives, because God is the source of justice. - Bethany Hanke Hoang and Kristen Deede Johnson, The Justice Calling
Rom 12:1-8; Luke 24:28-35 Very often we feel restricted in our situation, our family, or our surroundings. But maybe the real problem lies elsewhere: in our hearts. There we are restricted, and that is the root of our lack of freedom. - Jacques Philippe, Interior Freedom
2 Cor 5:11-21; John 21:15-19 "As there can be no above without a below, no before without an after, so there can be no...history of salvation between God and humanity without its reflection and repetition in a history between one person and another. [But this] can take place only as those who are loved by God and love Him in return enjoy and make use of the freedom to love one another. If it is ever the case that they seem to be missing God’s love and their own love for God...the root of the trouble may be quite simply that they are not ready to make use of this freedom, and are not engaged in
Ephesians 4:14-25; John 14:1-12 Christian faith isn't a general religious awareness. Nor is it the ability to believe several unlikely propositions. It is certainly not a kind of gullibility which would put us out of touch with any genuine reality. It is the faith which hears the story of Jesus, including the announcement that he is the world's true Lord, and responds from the heart with a surge of grateful love that says: "Yes. Jesus is Lord. He died for my sins. God raised him from the dead. This is the center of everything." - N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
Ephesians 1:15-23; Mark 16:1-8
Mark 11:1-11 "I do not know You God because I am in the way." - Flannery O'Connor, A Prayer Journal
Genesis 11:1-9; John 1:1–14 In the silence surrounding his death, Jesus became the best possible companion for those whose prayers are not answered, who would give anything just to hear God call them by name. Him too. - Barbara Brown Taylor, When God Is Silent
Genesis 6:11-22 There are no sacred and unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places. - Wendell Berry
Genesis 4:1-16 When you lament in good faith, opening yourself to God honestly and fully - no matter what you have to say - then you are beginning to clear the way for praise. You are straining toward the time when God will turn your tears into laughter. When you lament, you are asking God to create the conditions in which it will become possible for you to offer praise - conditions, it turns out, that are mainly within your own heart. - Ellen Davis, Getting Involved With God
