Easter Sunday | March 31st, 2024
04/02/24 • 40 min
This past Sunday, we celebrated Jesus's resurrection and the hope we have in Christ because of the empty tomb. Many of us are tempted to grow overly familiar with this ancient truth. Still, just like Jesus’ disciples on the Road to Emmaus, we constantly need to have our “eyes opened” to the truth of the risen Christ, who is the only source of life and salvation that we can place our faith in. As we turn our eyes and hearts back to the resurrected Jesus and seek to become like him, we will discover his resurrection power at work in us in ways far greater than we can imagine.

Shaped By Suffering
This past Sunday, we explored the role that suffering plays in our spiritual formation, or how we are “shaped by suffering.” While many of us don’t like to consider how our suffering might be used for our spiritual maturity, the consistent teaching of the New Testament is that suffering is one of the primary means God uses to form the character of Christ in us. In the letter of 1 Peter, we are instructed to yield our suffering to God, knowing that it has the capacity to shape in us a resilient faith, a deeper joy, and an eternal hope.
