THE DYING AND RISING JESUS IS WHO WE NEED TO SEE
Easter is the good news of the new life made possible through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But we must remember that he couldn’t be raised unless he was first crucified. Though it seems so obvious, we can’t miss this. Because everyone wants life. One way or another, we’re all seeking resurrection, but no one wants to die. Yet according to the Easter story, life is given through death. Jesus died so that we may live and he invites us to come and die to that which is not life in order that we may truly live.
