Jesus’ resurrection turned Mary’s momentary sorrow into everlasting joy. Jesus’ resurrection turned the disciples’ fear of men into the courage to boldly stand before the highest authorities in the land. And Jesus’ resurrection turned Thomas’ doubts into a faith so strong it took him all the way to the other side of the known world. This is the hope that comes from our Lord and our God and is given to you too. Lord, remind us once again today of Your living hope and how an empty tomb filled us all with Your life and eternal hope.
