April 5, 2015: A Light in the Darkness – Michael Hidalgo

Resurrection is not resuscitation. When Jesus came out of the grave he did not just come back to life. He ushered in a brand new reality! This is what is meant by the words, “Behold I make all things new!” So what does this mean for us? What hope can this bring to us here and now today? How can this inform our brokenness?

The resurrection teaches us that God doesn’t just fix things up. He creates something totally and completely new. The resurrected Jesus is the mystery of this good news. He comes out of the grave – still bearing the marks of death and darkness, yet those very wounds are transformed into marks of life and light. And this is the good news – we can be made new.
