While what we celebrate at Easter—the resurrection of Jesus Christ—remains steadfast, we acknowledge that this year looks and feels different. For over a year, we have carried the burdens of worldwide sickness, deep loss, anxiety and polarization. We cannot gloss over these struggles, but we can create space for honest conversation and honest stories about who Jesus is.

In our cultural moment, we’ve seen Jesus invoked to serve worldly agendas that differ greatly from the Jesus we see in Scripture—the One who set the ultimate example of unconditional love and radical reconciliation. We believe this real Jesus has real hope to offer us today.

After you watch the service, we invite you to bring your questions, thoughts and curiosity to any of our follow-up opportunities. Learn more here: http://idcpdx.com/lent/easter-2021/
