Church of the Nativity

There’s a lot going on in today’s readings, lots of important details, but at this time of year it’s hard for me to not to just think about going fishing. 

Today we celebrate the love Jesus has for you and me. A love that’s stronger than death. A love that enabled Jesus not just to accept, but to embrace the cross to save us. 

Tonight we celebrate that Jesus Christ is truly risen from the dead. For nearly two thousand years, this belief has been proclaimed, defended, and celebrated by the Church – that after a cruel death by crucifixion with betrayal by those closest to Him, Jesus has been raised from the dead by the power of the eternal Father.
