The Resurrection of the Lord

"Christ our Passover has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast then, in the Lord."

The Resurrection of the Lord is the highest of all feasts - the day in which we celebrate the truth that Jesus conquers and redeems every darkness of life, even death itself. Truly this is a day of rejoicing! For even when events are unclear to us - when we do not understand what we see before us, like those who saw the empty tomb - we can be confident in the words and promises of God.
