Don't stop looking, not just at, but through what you know about God.

Easter Sunday wasn’t simply another start to another week. It was the first day of something brand new. A new day had dawned, a day that has no dusk. The sun still has not set on Jesus’ victory, and it never will. This week we celebrate that, when God’s Son rose with power, the sun set on insignificance. Fort days after Jesus’ resurrection, his visible time on earth reach its conclusion when he ascended into heaven. At his ascension, he was seated at the right hand of the Father and given power and authority to rule all things. He carries out that rule as the head governs the activities of a body with many parts. He rules for the church and also through the church. Each of our lives is part of the grand narrative uniting all of history: Christ reigns victorious!
