The day after our Lord died on the cross, we find in John 20:19 the disciples hiding behind locked doors. They had allowed the darkness of their circumstances to blind them from the light of hope, and now they were afraid and living without hope. They couldn't see that in just a few hours not only would their lives be completely different from then on, but that the whole world would forever change.
On Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate a hope that cannot be taken away by the world, by our circumstances, or by our pain. We celebrate a hope that is the light of the world, and the darkness can never and will never prevail over the hope we have in our Lord Jesus.
Though we may sometimes find ourselves in places of hopeless despair, let us be renewed this Resurrection weekend and remember, just as the disciples did, that our Lord is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us, and if He is on our side, who can stand against us?

If you don't have a church or are looking for a place to worship on Resurrection Sunday, please come join us at 7 AM -- our Brotherhood is providing breakfast, and we will also partake of the Lord's Supper.
