Celebration of the Resurrection’s Not Canceled

Celebration.

A word wiped from our vocabulary as events wiped clean from our calendars.

Because events worth celebrating disappeared from our day-timers and lives with little warning. Like weddings, graduations, sports championships, family gatherings/vacations, and church worship services—in person with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

“Celebration canceled” hoovers over our present world crisis and maybe some of our own personal ones.

While we live in unprecedented and downright scary times. Although life seems less than stable and celebratory.

Even though we all took a crash course we never signed up for on how to manage current life.

There’s no better time to deeply celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Celebration: God Bankrupted Heaven to Send a Rescuer

Those daydreams of shining knights coming to save the day and us. The people we hope will swoop in as a hero over our difficult circumstances and life’s unexpected curve balls. They all have cracks in their armor or holes in their capes.

But Jesus steps in and rescues us from areas in our life marked: Rescue needed.

These are our real needs. These are the areas where a true rescue needs to take place. Such as forgiveness, mercy, and grace for sin. Like unconditional love and real peace only found in our Savior.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 ESV.

Let’s celebrate how Jesus saves!
