When the women were waiting to visit the tomb on Sunday morning, they expected to see a dead body. They didn't know what to think when they got there. They did not have to mourn long.
When my mother died unexpectedly 10 years ago, laying her in the grave hit me with its permanence. I will spend half my life without her. That seems like such a long time.
But, when I reach eternity, this waiting will be a blink of an eye. That's what the power of the resurrection means to me.
Thank you Jesus for dying and rising again, so that I can have hope of sweet reunion.

a book I wrote
Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is… that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.” Eugene Peterson wrote a book entitled A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, and as someone who has served in the same city since 1982, I claim that as my something that makes life worth living.
