You're better off without me.

We're all chasing after certain things in life. When that chase starts at Jesus' empty tomb, life will always be full. For the fifty days of the Easter season, we celebrate all of the blessings with which the empty tomb fills our lives. This week we see that Jesus' resurrection means that we are not alone. Yes, he withdrew his visible presence from this world. But he still lives to give us his Holy Spirit, just as he promised. Do not be troubled. We are not alone. Our living Savior now makes his home in our hearts through his Holy Spirit.
