A Thought For The Week Of April 9

Thought for the week: "As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, 'Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.'" (Matthew 17:9) Easter can seem to be a mountain top experience. Packed churches, happy children. The excitement, the joy, the sheer fun of it all. But the point is that Easter isn't just for our enjoyment. It's both our great hope (that death has been defeated) and it's our great calling (to share that news with a world that will find it hard to believe.) But hard to believe or not - Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Easter Sunday is over. It all begins anew. Let's not wait. Let's start spreading this wonderful gospel of love, peace and hope right now. Have a great week!
