Eastertide: 1 Corinthians 15:20–26

What does it mean to be Easter people living in an Easter world? Easter people can face the brokenness of the world with honesty and hope, enjoy the beauty of the world as a foretaste of the world to come, and live with sacrificial love and missional purpose. We rebuild and remake everything around the “masterpiece gift” that is Christ’s death and resurrection.

Easter: John 20:24–31

Palm Sunday: John 20:24–31

Jesus is not what we expect but better than we imagine. He is an unexpected King; a humble servant-King. He is bringing an unexpected Kingdom; He welcomes us and our “enemies” into His Kingdom. He is bringing an unexpected salvation; He is saving the world by saving us from sin and death. Will we reject Him? Try to redefine Him? Receive Him?
