“He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!”<\/p>\n
From the Early Church era believers have continued to greet one another in
\nthis unique and powerful way. This Sunday, Easter 2020, our voices and lives
\nstill resound that great refrain because, we of all people have hope and
\nGod’s peace for our troubled anxious hearts. In the midst of the turbulence
\nof Covid-19 that roils our sense of safety, security, and sufficiency our
\nhearts can be troubled by uncertainty, anxiety, and despair. Today Jesus has
\na word for us by way of Peace for troubled hearts, a Promise for troubled
\nhearts, and a Pathway to everlasting liberation from a troubled heart.<\/p>\n
My prayer for you is that you and yours grow in faith today as you are
\nengaged in God’s Word and that we all extend our hope in Christ to a very
\nneedy world.<\/p>\n
He is Risen!<\/p>\n
Grace and Peace,<\/p>\n
