Today's Easter and I can’t stop thinking about this morning. The ultimate illustration of God working all things together for good is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. But looking at the gospel from any perspective except Sunday gives the wrong message. Defeat, failure, misery, pain and loss overshadow the thought of any of this being good. And then came Sunday. It all became good. Don't ask me to be sad about something so great!
The joy Jesus had for enduring the cross was not the affliction but the promise of Sunday. He knew what was coming and waited till the power of resurrection called Him.
Lots of us are in the misery, the agony, the dying or the tomb, but remember Sunday came and it will come for us!
Nothing we face can stop Sunday. Wait for it. If I can guarantee you anything…Sunday’s coming.
