Faith in the In-Between
In the silent, confusing days after the Crucifixion, the disciples wrestled with grief, fear, and doubt—yet God was already preparing the resurrection they could not yet see.

Because Jesus declared tetelestai—“it is finished”—we can live in the freedom of a salvation that is fully accomplished, not partially earned.
In John 19:30, Jesus cried out, “It Is Finished!” Many of us have heard these words, but what do these words really mean? What was finished?
Who was Jesus? It is a question that has echoed across centuries, whispered in quiet prayer, debated in universities, and argued in the streets. For Christians, the answer is not a simple label but a profound tension held together in Scripture: Jesus is both the Son of Man and the Son of God. And the confusion surrounding these titles is not accidental—it is the result of trying to compress a divine mystery into human categories.
Easter 2025 was pleasant as it was lived in the present. But, much of this Easter, I’ve pondered about Easters in the past and those coming in the future. At this short end of life I won’t see many of Easters I imagine in the future.
Though the rabbits and eggs and chocolates have tried to dominate the holiday for us, we Christians know that the Easter holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Christ, is the most sacred on our yearly calendar.
When we were growing up, my brother and I never got Easter baskets. Easter meant going to church and getting new Easter clothes. Our parents (actually, we just blame Mom–sorry, Mom) wanted to instill in us that Easter was not about rabbits or chocolate eggs, but rather about the resurrection of Jesus.
Here’s something astonishing: the Passover story and the crucifixion of Jesus are not just similar events—they are mirror images.
The Passover lamb was more than just an act of obedience—it was a stand-in, a substitution for the people. A life was taken so that another life could be spared.
It is no accident that history is filled with stories of slavery and redemption—it’s an archetype woven into the fabric of human experience.
When you decide to take a road trip, how do you prepare? Are you a list-maker or a risk taker? Just over 2000 years ago, Jesus was preparing for the greatest road trip of all time.
In 2021, President Joe Biden officially recognized March 31, 2021, as Transgender Day of Visibility, becoming the first U.S. president to do so.
Easter was a day of gratitude, praise, and real joy for Christians celebrating Resurrection Sunday…And another clear indicator of Democrat depravity.
This resurrection,, central to Christian doctrine, underscores themes of sacrifice, redemption, and divine power.
God gives us Sunday to meet our needs, not His. The second chapter of Mark’s Gospel tells us how the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
On this beautiful Easter morning, let’s not forget that this high and holy day isn’t about the rabbit or the eggs. It’s all about Jesus. He is risen indeed!
Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday, is a day of celebration in the Christian church. But why do we celebrate? Because Easter is coming!
This message from a layman at a 2022 Easter “Sonrise” Service is about how human love is great, but the love we get from God never tires and never quits. And, it gives special free gifts.
