J.J.’s Death and Jesus Resurrection

We lost a precious baby this week. Murdered before his first birthday. Confusion, sadness, anger and regret all swirl around in our hearts and minds. Where do we go from here? There are no easy answers, no helpful tips, no road map to help us navigate this dark and uncharted place. But there is a guide. There is one who has gone down into the grave and come back again. Mark 16:1-9 tells us about Him and I believe His story has something to say to us. I believe that Jesus resurrection from the dead offers hope in the face of death, redemption in the face of sin and regret, and peace even as the questions swirl and the pain remains.
