Easter Sunday (2022)

It’s Easter Sunday. The tomb is empty. The Lord Jesus is Risen (Luke 24). All things have been made new (Revelation 21:5). The consequence of the fall of man–our mortality–has been paid in full. And there’s new hope for us in Him because of it. The sting of death is gone. The grave has no longer has any kind of victory (1 Corinthians 15:47-58). Satan is angry about it (Revelation 12). The saints have a joyful expectation of eternal life (Titus 3:3-7). Revelation’s woman clothed with the sun and with 12 stars as a crown–the Church–is waiting expectantly for the return of Jesus Christ, the firstborn among many brothers (and sisters). We are the family of God (Revelation 21:7). Eternal life and reigning with Him, serving Him as a kingdom of priests is our future. We do not need to fear anything anymore (1 John 4: 14-21). What can man do to us when this is the future God has promised (Hebrews 13:6)?

“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, [you are here] and is to come.” (Revelation 4:8). Happy Easter! He is Risen!
