Sunday is Coming

Family,

I don’t know what to say. I rarely find myself without words, but these are days of speechlessness. I would not have planned this weekend for Mosaic this way, but it is what God is inviting us into.

As I spent time reflecting on the first Easter Sunday over these past two weeks, do you know what I have found? For many of us, this Easter weekend will be more like the first Easter than anything we have ever experienced.

The doubt of whether God truly has conquered death. The question that lingers, “Is Christ truly the Son of God?” Does death have the final word? Have we been left alone? Have we been abandoned?

All of us are like the disciples this Easter, sheltered behind locked doors.

And yet, just like that first Easter, the Lord enters into our midst and says, “Peace be with you.”

Tomorrow is Good Friday. We remember that the Son of God was crucified, forsaken by God and the world, so that we might enter into fellowship with God.

Saturday is Holy Saturday. Marked by silence, a world waiting and groaning under the weight of death and sorrow. Will the King return?

But Sunday … Snday is coming. As U2 has said, “the grave is now a groove … all debts are removed.”

Tonight as you eat your dinner, remember: our Lord Jesus hosted a dinner on this night. He broke bread, he shared a cup, and he washed the disciples’ feet.

These days, if we pay attention, we can live into the story of Christ … walking in his footsteps all the way to the cross.

Only he can take up the cross as his rightful throne. And he has.

But Sunday is coming …
