Easter: The Goodness Sustaining All Prevails
from Mosaic Lincoln Hosted by Mosaic Lincoln
The opening stanzas of Hebrew poetry in Genesis 1 declare that God saw all He had made—and it was very good. The Hebrew creation narrative goes on to reveal humanity’s invitation to live within the goodness of the Creator and to share that goodness with one another. But where has all the goodness gone in our world? On Good Friday, God in Christ entered fully into human suffering and sin while extending mercy and forgiveness. Then, on Easter Sunday, the sustaining goodness of God broke through—proving it will prevail over every gravestone and every injustice. As the people of God, we are invited to live in this promise and to share this goodness with our neighbors, both near and far. Scriptures: Genesis 1–3, 1 Corinthians 15 Concluding Story: The Coming of the King by Laura E. Richards, read by Jan Bretz
