 traditional worship
By now it seems like Easter Sunday was a long time
ago. Do you realize that in real time, Jesus was still
walking around on earth appearing at different times
to various people? That must have been very wonderful
seeing Him and realizing He was really alive! My guess
is many of the hundreds of people who saw Him,
wondered what would happen next. Was He simply
going to stay here on earth and build His kingdom? He
had been killed once. Would the officials try to do it
again? How unnerving it must have been for them to
hear word that the man they had killed was alive again
and walking about. After all, it was more than a month
ago that they crucified Him and still, He is here! Im
afraid too often we read the Easter account as a story,
like we read other stories or novels and dont actually
play it in our minds as true history. But this story is
not simply history. This same Jesus who walked this
earth following His resurrection, has sent His Holy
Spirit to be among us this morning, which is every bit
as real as the person sitting beside you. Worship is
the engagement and encountering of the living Lord.
Remember, one of Jesus blessings came after His
resurrection when He said to Thomas, blessed are
those who have not seen and yet have believed. That
would be us! - Dr. Dan Sharp
