This year’s journey through Lent has been amazing. Personally, I have worked harder than any other year to purposefully observe this season. It’s been uneven at times, but I have worked to observe the readings, pause in prayer, and reflect.

On Saturday I went through some Easter Vigil readings that really heightened my anticipation of Resurrection Sunday. Then, I began to read Easter greetings from friends in Australia. Resurrection Sunday had dawned for them. They were rejoicing! I was still pausing, anticipating… longing.

HE IS RISEN.

He is mighty to save! He has delivered on his promise.

There is no resurrection without Golgotha. There is no true celebration of life without the smell of death. This journey has been good. He has called us to anticipation of what he will do in resurrection power. Let us hear the call of the Spirit! Let us SEE his glory!

HE IS RISEN INDEED!
