A Word From Our Pastor…

The best is yet to be!

A woman named Mary Magdalene learned that lesson early on the first Easter morning. She wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days, to pretend that the terrible crucifixion had never happened.

When the risen Christ confronted her, she fell to her knees and clutched his feet, almost pleading with him to stop this crazy chain of events. She thought: perhaps the past few days were all a dreadful nightmare. Can we wake up now and go back to the good old days when Jesus taught by the Sea of Galilee, performed healing miracles, and shared fellowship with his friends over supper? Can’t we turn back the clock?

You and I should be able to empathize with Mary. We have lots of schemes designed to slow down or reverse the clock. We are part of a youth-glorifying, death-denying culture. After about the age of 29, we try not to get any older, or at least not to look like it. Rather than looking forward to the future, we try to fend it off.

As Easter people, we dare to believe that our best days are still before us. We give thanks for the blessings of the past, but our risen Lord goes ahead of us, into our tomorrows, assuring us that life is snatched from death, that light has overcome the darkness and that the best is yet to be! We look forward to welcoming you to our weekly celebration of our Lord’s victory over sin, death and the devil. Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed!

Pastor Steve
