Risen

April 23rd – Acts 1:9-11

Acts 1:9-11

The story didn’t end at the empty tomb. Nor did it end when Jesus ascended into heaven. As His followers stood gazing at the sky, awestruck and unsure, they were reminded that the same Jesus who went up will one day return. Can you imagine standing there? Watching your Savior rise in glory, leaving behind the echoes of victory over death? That moment wasn’t a goodbye. It was a commissioning. Easter reminds us not only of what Jesus has done, but of what He’s coming back to complete. This same Jesus, full of mercy, truth, and power, is preparing a place for us. And until He comes again, we’ve been called. Called to go, to share, and to shine His light. The cross wasn’t the end. The tomb wasn’t the end. Even the sky couldn’t contain Him. Jesus lives. And because He lives, we live with purpose. So let’s not stand still staring at the clouds. Let’s live boldly, joyfully, and expectantly. And do so carrying Easter in our hearts every day until we see Him return.

April 19th – Matthew 28:6

Matthew 28:6

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!” These words echo through history, shaking the grave and awakening our hearts with hope. The tomb is empty, and because Jesus rose, we no longer live in defeat. His resurrection is not just a moment in history. It’s the miracle that transforms our every day. When life feels heavy, we remember the stone rolled away. When fear whispers lies, we cling to the truth that Jesus conquered death. His victory is our victory. Sin no longer has the final word. Shame no longer owns us. We are forgiven, free, and filled with resurrection power. This changes everything. It changes how we live, how we love, and how we endure. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. (Romans 8:11) And because of that, we have strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Let the world see your joy. Let your life shout, “He is risen!” Live like the tomb is still empty. Because it is!

April 5th – Mark 4:39

Mark 4:39

The wind howled, the waves crashed, and fear gripped the hearts of the disciples until Jesus spoke. “Peace, be still.” And just like that, the storm surrendered. In Mark 4:39, we see the power of Jesus not just over the wind and sea, but over every storm we face. This Easter, we remember the One who calmed the sea with a word and conquered death with His resurrection. The tomb is empty, and that same power that stilled the storm now lives in us. So whatever fear is swirling in your heart, grief, anxiety, or doubt, know this. Jesus still speaks peace. He still calms chaos. And because He lives, we are never alone in the storm. Easter is our reminder that darkness doesn’t win, fear doesn’t rule, and death doesn’t get the final say. The risen Savior walks with us, speaks to our hearts, and covers us with a peace that silences every fear. So let your soul rest in Him today. He is still Lord of the storm.

March 24th – Matthew 28:6

Matthew 28:6

Imagine the grief, heartbreak, and hopelessness the disciples must have felt after Jesus’ death. The One they had followed, loved, and believed in was gone, buried in a tomb, sealed behind a stone. But then, everything changed. The angel’s words shattered the darkness. “He is not here; He has risen!” In that moment, sorrow turned to joy, defeat turned to victory, and despair turned to hope. And that same resurrection power is still changing lives today.

Because Jesus rose, we are no longer bound by sin. Because He lives, our past no longer defines us, and death no longer has the final say. The resurrection is more than a historical event, it’s the foundation of our faith. It means that no matter what we face, we serve a living Savior who has conquered it all. When life feels hopeless, when we’re overwhelmed by struggles, we can hold onto this truth. The tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive! His victory is our victory, and through Him, we have new life, new hope, and the promise of eternity.
