Even Now, Especially Now, He is Risen

b'Easter Sunday --- Matthew 28:1-10 \\nIt\\u2019s pretty weird now, isn\\u2019t it? So much of the wold is \\u201ccelebrating\\u201d Christ\\u2019s triumph over death today away from the church. We read about the stone that was rolled away behind doors that have been closed for weeks. What is Easter today without the community celebration? The joining hands and the singing as one? What can the Gospels tell us about conquering the grave when so many have died and so many more have had their lives turned upside down? Be careful in dismissing a familiar story. The Word has so much to say in surprising new ways, and that\\u2019s even more true today. We don\\u2019t deny today\\u2019s reality. But we do have a defiant hope in the Resurrection and redemption that Christ brought in his disciple\\u2019s darkest hour and still brings today in a chaotic world. His is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! \\nConnect Card - https://lovechapelhill.com/messages/connect-card\\nTriangle Prayer - https://triangleprayer.org\\nTABLE NC - https://tablenc.org\\nGive - https://lovechapelhill.com/give'
