This week causes us to reflect on the challenges we face. Though they may be small in comparison to others, they are significant to us and therefore important to God.
Can you imagine the feeling the friends of Jesus experienced when they visited the tomb and found that Christ's body was gone? They must have been in despair.
The events of the last few weeks of his life were the highest of highs and now became the lowest of lows. Not only was Jesus mocked, tortured, and killed, but now his body had been taken and desecrated, or so they thought.
But then in a matter of hours, God changed this tragic situation into incomprehensible joy.
That's the same promise we have despite our present circumstances.
