Matthew 28:6 “He is not here, for he had risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.” Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the most important day of the Christian faith—the day Jesus defeated death!

Our God is a God of “and” … On the Saturday after the crucifixion and before the resurrection, there was no hope. The Savior had been killed, even the skies mourned. Those who follow Jesus will face trials and trouble AND they will be raised to life. We will mourn AND rejoice in the morning. We will have doubts AND be fully restored in faith. Because God isn’t just the God of the crucifixion or the God of the mourning. He isn’t just the God Saturday, the times of waiting and wondering. He is both of those AND the God of Sunday—the God of hope, redemption, and victory!

Today I’ve been listening to the song Battle Belongs by Phil Wickham, and these lyrics stood out to me: “Where I see a cross, You see an empty grave.” When we look at the cross, we see an image of torture, pain, and death. But God’s perspective is not our own. Where we see an end, God sees a beginning. In the face of the most brutal earthly circumstances, He sees redemption, hope, and life. This Good Friday, I’m reminded of Isaiah 55:8–9: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Today I’m thankful for a God who knows the end of the story—and who chose the cross on our behalf.
