Ours is a God of the living, not of the dead. Jesus is alive, and in him we have life. Goodbye emptiness, directionlessness, and purposelessness. We decline now to trust our own reason or to follow our own desires. His plain Word, simple water, bread and wine, body and blood don't make any more sense to unbelievers than did casting out the nets that day on the Sea of Galilee.
Faith believes and celebrates.
His tomb is empty, never his promises. I will be with you always. Because I live, you will live also. God grant that each of us be emptied of all that is not of Christ and filled beyond measure with his good Word and Holy Spirit. A Study Guide in Christian Teachings for Adults.
