April 5 (Easter) - A New Lens For Lent: The Lens of Hope | Emily Wright

Have you ever found yourself saying, "But we had hoped..."? 🚶‍♂️ On the road to Emmaus, Cleopas and his companion were processing the ultimate disappointment—their plans for a Messiah didn't match the reality of the cross. We often do the same, basing our hope on our circumstances or our "perfect" plans. But Easter hope isn't a roll of the dice or a wish that things go our way. It is a "sure and steadfast anchor" based on the concrete fact of the empty tomb. Even when we don't recognize Him, Christ is walking the road of disappointment right beside us. ⚓️
