Scripture
Jesus is resolute in the face of death. Are we?
Nothing is more certain than death. Yet normally, nothing is more hidden from our view. We do most everything that we can to not look death in the face.
Are we present for Jesus during his time of need?
Who might we be in these narratives? Who was there during Jesus’ time of need?
Can we believe in the Resurrection without understanding it?
What might be difficult to understand on Easter Sunday should become clearer throughout the Easter season.
What does it mean to live in the light amid coronavirus fears?
Horrible things happen in the dark when people are afraid. We must now give witness. If we live in the light, it should be evident. Even in a time of virus.
How should we carry the weight and worry that come with life?
The call of Christ can appear as one more demand upon your time and energy.
How can you let Christ open your eyes?
We must seek healing for our own spiritual blindness in order to see the light of Christ.
