The culmination of the journey toward resurrection.
After weeks of repentance, surrender, waiting, and being shaped by grace, we arrive not at an ending, but at victory. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely an event to remember, but the divine confirmation that the work of the cross is complete, accepted, and victorious!
Sin is paid for, death is defeated, and the grave has no claim over those who are in Him. As Jonathan Edwards wrote, “Christ’s resurrection is the foundation of our hope,” and it is this sure and unshakable hope that anchors us now. We do not stand at the empty tomb in passing wonder, but in deep assurance that Christ has finished the work, that new life is not earned but given, and that all who are united to Him will share in His victory.
This is the joy of Easter, the fullness of all that Lent has been leading us toward: He is risen, and because He lives, those who put their trust in Him too shall live.
