Easter 2025

John 20:5-7;  Eph. 1:19-20 Life itself can sometimes feel like a cave—cold and dark. Disappointments come. Hurts happen. Tragedy strikes. You’re left wondering what hit you and when the light will shine again. I want to encourage you today:  Hold onto hope because God does His best work there

For the disciples, Death extinguished The Light. The Messiah gave up His spirit, and hope died on a cross. The future looked as dark as the cave holding the body of the One we loved and trusted.  Those followers experienced God’s power in the cave. On the third day after Jesus’ burial, the disciples visited the cave and found it empty.

The disciples and us discover beauty in the cave. Jesus’ grave clothes lay there undisturbed, minus His body. Darkness gave way to light!  Death gave way to life! Despair gave way to hope!  

When you land in a cave, remind yourself that Jesus has gone before You. He’s already there. He knows this place can feel lonely, scary, void of light and hope. But He also knows the cave is not your final destination.

The cave could not hold Jesus. Neither can it hold you. Do not fear it, but consider it a place to experience God’s beauty and resurrection power.

Hang onto hope, my friend. God does His best work in the cave. You’re there for a purpose—a rich, glorious purpose indeed. You’re in a hard place, but it’s the best place to see God do His best work! A life-lasting way!
