The best proof that Christ has risen is that he is still alive. And for the immense majority of our contemporaries, the only way of seeing him alive is for us Christians to love one another.

Louis Evely

They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.” But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

Mark 9:30-32
The New International Version

Christianity is a religion of the open tomb.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

We see glimpses of God’s love when our humanity gets the best of us, when we just want to give up and question: Are you there? Why am I existing? And at these times, the spirit within you just wells up and gives you that answer. It’s the answer I got when my eighteen-year-old daughter died last year. It was either that or throw it all out the window. There was nothing that I could have done, no religion I could have learned that would have sustained me through such a tragedy. It had to come from the outside into me and it did. That’s God’s grace. It’s so evident, yet so intangible. We can’t grab it, but we can sense it. Those of us who ask for it, get it. That’s the reality of God.

Nick De Marco

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1 Peter 2:2-3

A year is…
the sparkle of snowflakes,
the sweet melody of robins,
the fragrance of roses,
and the gold and ruby
of fallen leaves.
A year is three hundred sixty-five days of beauty…
Three hundred sixty-five reasons for joy.

Tina Hacker

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Always leave people better than you found them. Hug the hurt. Kiss the broken. Befriend the lost. Love the lonely.
