It’s Easter and it’s good Friday.
We are in liminal space. We’ve left one reality but not yet entered a new one. It’s a confusing time, but it’s a place where God more often than not meets with us.
Jesus is crucified and laid in a tomb, it feels like death; because it is.
Death of hopes and dreams for those first disciples and it can be a reminder for us of the deaths in our own lives.
Loss of hope, loss of health, loss of status, the pain from our pasts can be deep and the agreements we have often made can actually shut God out; but resurrection is coming….
Jesus rising from the dead, breaking the bonds of death and condemnation, leading people into freedom, making a way where there is seemingly no way and enabling us to reconnect with God’s love, forgiveness, mercy and peace.
That’s our hope for all of us this Easter and it’s our hope for anyone reading this whatever your losses and pain along the journey of life to date have been.
There is hope, God isn’t finished with you….there is still hope.
We’d encourage you to try speaking to God for yourself.
We’re fully paid up God botherers and God kinda expects it from us, but we’ve learned over the years that when people reach out and talk to God for themselves, often He meets them in their struggles and does remarkable things.
That’s the journey we’ve all made and our journeys to faith in Jesus never started with success. It always came on the back of failure and chaos.
But all of us in Longriders know a deep truth; that life can be radically different with Jesus and in surprisingly good ways.
If you’re struggling, reach out and drop us a line and we’ll do our best to help.
