So What? We have journeyed to the cross of Christ and the empty tomb.

The relevant question is, “What difference does our resurrection faith make?” The

skeptic may quickly object that they observe little difference in our lives. If true, that

is a stinging criticism of modern Christianity. Contrast that with the early disciples.

Although the disciples fled and scattered when Jesus was crucified, something remark-

able transformed this frail and frightened band of followers. The New Testament

points to the resurrection as the origin of that transformation. The disciples became

bold and courageous, willing to die for the sake of the gospel. They did just that.

I pray that my resurrection faith will empower me every day to “deny myself, take up

my cross, and follow him” even, if necessary, to the point of death. The disciples’

bold witness and proclamation changed the world around them. We have been

entrusted with the same gospel. Let’s be faithful! Let me give a few suggestions to

guide us in our post-Easter experience:

Read the Bible devotionally, prayerfully meditating on a small section of scripture.

In response to our sacred reading, ask ourselves: What is God saying to me in

this scripture? What I am saying in response to God?

Take advantage of these warmer, longer days by meditating on the beauty and

splendor of God’s creation. Perhaps, awake a little earlier once a week to

watch the sun lift on the eastern sky, thanking God for the new day.

Be faithful in the discipline of worship with fellow believers. As the writer of

Hebrews so eloquently encouraged: “Let us consider how to provoke one

another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit

of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day

approaching” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NRS).

If we will enter these disciplines, I believe we will find our faith increasing and our

witness to the risen Christ growing.

Staying in Love — I will begin a new marriage series in April, using two

resources: John Gottman’s groundbreaking work on making marriages succeed along

with Andy Stanley’s material on “Staying in Love.”

Love, David
