There were no happy expectations among the disciples on the first Easter day. Instead of lively preparations for worship, lunch, and time with family and friends, those first disciples were prepared only to deal with death and the decay of their rabbi’s broken body. But in the very place they expected to find death, they were surprised by life. Their despair turned to joy. Their lament turned to witness. Those early witnesses of the Resurrection passed down their testimony through the ages to you and me. Our faith is based in large part on whether or not they told the truth. Can we trust them? And when will our faith be turned to sight? When will we also see the resurrected Lord? Join us this Easter Sunday as we hear the first articulation of the gospel message and the difference it makes—now as we worship in faith and in the future when our faith shall be made sight.
