Saint Paul's Pod: The Confusion and Joy of Easter

Run with fear and great joy! Christ is Risen! The first witnesses to the resurrection ran with fear and great joy. The new world came as Jesus defied death and exposed the frailty of the empire.   The world has been redeemed, and the power of those who live by death is empty. Just as Mary and Mary ran with fear and great joy, we must live the same way. There is great need and great conflict, but we can be joyous knowing God’s kingdom will come. Let’s live out our lives with the gifts and exercise our testimonies, remembering our trials and difficulties to build resilience.
