I knew where I was going.
I wasn’t lost.
My destination was secure.
However…
In the fog
There was uncertainty
About what waited ahead
Perhaps…
Something dreaded?
Something delightful?
Something unexpected?
Not to worry…
I know where I am going.
I am not lost.
My destination is secure.
Sometimes life can leave one…
Dry
Dusty
Thirsty
Lonely
In disarray
Barren
Empty
A desert
Yet God provides…
A wellspring
Refreshing
Life-giving
Water
Living water
Sparkling
Light-of-the-World
Water
Just when it’s needed most.
An oasis

It’s Easter Sunday and here’s the Good News.
“For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
Today is also known as Resurrection Sunday.
So today, along with the Heidelberg Catechism, we ask how does Christ’s resurrection benefit us?
First
by his resurrection
he has overcome death,
so that he might make us share
in the righteousness
he obtained for us by his death.
Second
by his power
we too
are already raised
to a new life.
Third
Christ’s resurrection
is a sure pledge to us
of our blessed resurrection.
Good News indeed.

A question and an answer…
The Question …
What is your only comfort in life and in death?
The Answer …
That I am not my own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
[Heidelberg Catechism Question and Answer 1]
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
[2 Corinthians 5:17]
