🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
Yesterday, Christians everywhere celebrated the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Our hearts resonated with every sermon, song and presentation that portrays His victory over death.
The holidays will soon be over, and we shall go back to facing the pressures of everyday life. But the risen Savior may not seem nearly as close today, and little may seem to have changed. We are still faced with that lingering disease, that broken
relationship, those financial problems, or those hardships that come with growing older. We hear about poverty and persecution, about war and conflict in so many countries, and we might ask, "Has Easter really made a difference? Has anything changed in the past 2,000 years since Jesus' resurrection? Are things any better in the 21st century than they were in the first century?"
Though nations, technology, and social institutions have changed a lot since then, the human condition is much the same. God's image bearers are still addicted to sin. Jesus warned his followers, "In this world you will have trouble." But because he has overcome the world, we can have new life in Him and peace in spite of our struggles. We can strive to enact God's restoration in our daily lives. We can share his love with others and look forward together to the day when the risen Savior will return!
