From the Study

“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.”

Mark 16:6 (ESV)

A Russian cosmonaut once claimed that he did not find God anywhere in space. But the cosmonaut traveled without faith. The disciples had been given evidence of Jesus’ resurrection, but they still needed to appropriate the meaning of it by faith. They were told that Jesus would appear to them, but going to Galilee would take a lot of faith. Unfortunately, they lacked that faith and remained huddled in Jerusalem. Yet even there, in a locked room, Jesus came to them.

Faith is a moment-by-moment commitment to act on what God says—acting, trusting, and expecting to find Christ when we arrive. We take a step of faith, and Jesus comes closer, another step and Jesus becomes clearer, another step and Jesus becomes dearer. Each time we seek in faith, we find. That’s God’s promise.

May God richly bless you as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

In His Service,

Pastor Lowell.
