In Christ we are something more than ourselves, the expression goes beyond and deeper. (Romans 8.18-39)
The constant pattern of our lives should not be guilt, shame, or pride, but praise and worship of our great God.

For anyone going through something and hearing that there is a sunny side to suffering is about as helpful as putting a screen door on a submarine, except when it isn’t.
What must change for us to be as bold as the disciples in our witness and in our sharing of the Gospel?
It is Easter Sunday, the time when we remember the resurrection, the life, and the faith. So much to be thankful for and to rejoice about.
