Easter Sunday wasn\u2019t 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\u2019 victory, and it never will. This week we celebrate that, when God\u2019s Son rose with redemption, the sun set on despair. Easter demonstrates that Jesus\u2019 suffering and death were not some sad, unfortunate detour that had to be overcome on his way to glory. Rather, it was a necessary and indispensable part of his path as the world\u2019s Savior. In the same way, Easter demonstrates God\u2019s ability to use the circumstances in our lives that would most cause us despair to serve his saving purposes for us. Jesus\u2019 resurrection turns the very things that would otherwise give us despair into sources of hope.
