Sometimes loss is gain. Sometimes defeat is victory. Sometimes weakness is strength. Sometimes death is life. Sometimes, that is, when Christ is at the center, on his cross and not in his tomb.

The gospel of Jesus’ coming out of death and the tomb alive so that we might be restored to our identity as God’s children establishes the most enduring reality there is.

Easter must be seen in light of the cross. It must never overshadow Good Friday. They are a packaged deal!

It is good to remember that this true story, is also beautiful.

Viewing the Word as a unified theological narrative prevents us from treating the Scriptures like a cage match between competing theological systems, with prophets duking it out with apostles, and psalmists with evangelists, all supposedly fighting for their voice to be heard.

Big or small, potential or certain, the despair we may grapple with during this time of year tends to find its end in the fact that things are not as they should be.

Jesus is both the image bearer and the image giver. In Jesus’ incarnation we are redeemed and re-imaged.
