He is Risen!


He is Risen! 

And now the real work begins. Just remembering his life, death and resurrection isn’t enough. Now, yes now, we must begin the work of new life.

For if we have understood his message, then we are compelled to BE the people of God that Jesus expected us to be. So, we cannot be routine or complacent. If we truly understand that Jesus came to show us the way, the way to live – then we have some work to do. To live in the kingdom of God as Jesus proclaimed is to be different than the rest of the world. It is to love kindness, to do justice. It is to walk humbly with God. This Easter Season we celebrate seeing and hearing the message so much that we walk differently. Like the disciples on the way to Emmaus we cry out, “were not our hearts burning within us, are not our lives alighted with fire?”   
 
Join us each Sunday as we emphasize Jesus living on through us.
