The Empty Tomb on Easter Sunday is a reminder that Jesus is alive, and his sacrifice opened the door for us to have a new life in him. Jesus described himself as the gate for the sheep, leading to an abundant life in him, and we should focus on living in the reality of his resurrection and experiencing the fullness of life he offers.

Do you ever feel like an outcast in this world? You are not alone. Peter used the metaphor of being “born again” to encourage Christ’s followers who were being treated as outcasts because of their faith. We have a new life in Christ that is full of hope and belongs to God. So, we can be brave and hopeful because being “born again” in Christ means living in hope.

Michelle tells the story of Doubting Thomas, who needed physical proof to believe in Jesus’ resurrection. When Thomas finally met Jesus, he believed and acknowledged Him as Lord. Learn how we can relate to Thomas’s doubts and ask Jesus for help, and discover how doubt can be overcome with the Holy Spirit’s aid.

The story of Jesus’ resurrection starts with a visit to a tomb. We all visit our own tombs, whether literal or symbolic, to remember what we have lost. But Jesus’ empty tomb gives us hope, as he visits our tombs with us to restore what we have lost. As we celebrate his resurrection this Easter, let us find joy in his love that endures forever.

Are you struggling with a difficult next step? Through studying Isaiah’s poems, we can approach difficulties, including suffering, with courage and hope by looking to our Elder Brother Jesus.

People often divide others into groups, but it is not fair to generalize individuals based on group labels. Instead, we can focus on embracing our unique identities and purpose as individuals just like God created us to be. Paul encourages us to embrace our life in Christ and the way others reflect his image.

Are you quick to judge others based on appearance or labels? Like Samuel, we can never see what is in the heart of others. May we learn to see through the eyes and heart of Jesus so that others may come to experience his love through our actions.

Are you tired of feeling like your suffering is just ‘busy work’ with no purpose? Put your rest on Jesus. Only he can redeem your suffering and turn it into a time of growth and hope.

Every day, we are surrounded by blessings, big and small. Through the grace and love of God, as revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, the promise of blessings for all people has been fulfilled. Guided by the Holy Spirit, let us embrace and live out this blessed life, and share it with others.

Jesus is the only qualified physician who can heal us from the spiritual sickness of sin and restore us to righteousness. Through his death on the cross, we can receive God’s grace and be freed from guilt, rejoicing in the new life he has bought for us.
