Between the crucifixion and the resurrection, the followers of Jesus lived with half a message. “Jesus defeated.” Then on resurrection morning the fog lifted and the confusion to make sense of life became clear. The missing words blazed in the hearts of the disciples, “Jesus defeated the enemy!” We who believe in Jesus are the resurrection people who will live forever with God because we are in Christ Jesus. Jesus bridges the gap between confusion of life and the purpose of life. God can take tragedy and turn it to victory. Amen!
