Jesus did not avoid death. He walked through it. Because of that, we now have access to His presence, His provision, and His power through the Holy Spirit.

We are not asked to avoid death. We are invited to go through it with faith. As we let go of what is broken, God makes space for what is new.

Today, as we gather at the table, we reflected on a few simple but powerful questions. What is God asking me to lay down? What needs to die so something better can live? What might be waiting for me on the other side of surrender?

This week, take time to walk with courage. Let God speak, choosing surrender instead of self-preservation. Choose life in the Spirit instead of life on your own strength.
