Jesus came to earth to go head to head against our greatest enemies. When Jesus died, it seemed as though our enemies had one. However, three days later, Jesus was the last one standing. No matter what we might face in life or in death, the good news of Easter still stands. This week we see how Easter still stands for joy. Conventional wisdom suggests that joy is found only when we maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Therefore pleasure is to be pursued and pain is to be avoided at all costs. However, Easter demonstrates that God can generate joy not just from good circumstances but from the worst of circumstances. Easter proves that he is in the business of turning grief into joy, a joy that no circumstances can possibly take away.
