April 19


Today is a day of darkness.  We remember that this day, Jesus was dead.  This is the day of despair for the first followers.  This is the day of fear.  This is the day of hiding.  For us now, this is a day of waiting.  This is a day of anticipation.  This day is filled with tense hope.  What a difference perspective makes!  God is beyond time and place.  God's perspective is always one of fulfillment, of completion.  God sees us as we are meant to be.  God sees us washed in Jesus's blood and free.  God sees all creation free and whole. While God mourns with us and weeps with our pain, God offers us a perspective of confident hope.

Gracious and eternal Lord, hold us in your embrace and help us to see the universe through your eyes.  Amen.
