Easter doesn't end with Easter.

On Easter Sunday, the stone that had been rolled away revealed that Jesus’ tomb was empty. He had gotten out of his grave. And when he did, the blessings he had won got out with him. These blessings are now ours forever. The stone keeping his victory in can never be put back. This week we see how peace got out with Jesus. There are plenty of reasons for fear in this life. Jesus and his people continue to face opposition just as they always have. Even though we don’t see Jesus with our eyes anymore, he is among us as surely as he was among his disciples the night of his resurrection. Though we have not seen him, others have. Therefore, we can believe that he lives and that his words to us are true: “Peace be with you!”
