2nd Sunday of Easter
What is “truth”?
Oh boy, that is a big question. We live in a world that wants you to think that truth is based on interpretation. Your faith how you live your faith who you follow…all a matter of interpretation and not objective truth.
“Your word is truth,” Jesus said in John 17:17.
Easter reminds us that we apprehend that truth through faith, through Spirit-wrought trust in God’s promises. Matthew 28:17 gives a great example of this distinction. “When they saw Him [the resurrected Jesus], they worshipped Him; but some doubted.” There He was, objective truth, but the truth was received only through faith.
He is risen! You are invited to live in the truth of the empty tomb.
