God is good all the time // Go Dawgs

Psalms 3:5

Easter season is proof that God specializes in reversals.
Loss → Victory
Pain → Purpose
Death → Life

We know that in all things God works for the good.

Romans 8:28

Ecclesiastes 11:4

[Forrest Frank For Jesus @forestfrank]

The stone wasn’t rolled away so Jesus could come out.
It was rolled away so you could see what God already did.

[Jake Olson @JakeOlson61]

If you think Easter is nonsense, you’re not alone.

This morning in my Easter reading, something hit me.

In Luke, when the women came back from the empty tomb and told the eleven what they saw, Scripture says the disciples thought it was nonsense.

And honestly, if any of us witnessed a brutal, violent death like Jesus’, we’d probably call it nonsense too if someone told us that person was alive again.

But here’s the part we miss:

At the tomb, the angels didn’t give the women a new revelation. They said:

“Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and on the third day rise.”

They weren’t announcing something new.
They were reminding them of something Jesus had already said.

Which puts the disciples’ reaction in a different light.
We don’t know if they forgot His words or simply didn’t believe them — but either way, they didn’t receive them.

Then in John, we read that later that same day — Sunday night, after Mary had already told them the news that morning — the disciples were behind a locked door out of fear. They heard the message, but it didn’t move them.

Jesus appears to them, shows them His hands and His side, breathes peace on them… and you’d think that would settle it.

But eight days later?
They’re back behind a locked door when Jesus appears to Thomas.

We give Thomas the nickname “Doubting Thomas,” but the truth is:
all of them doubted.
All of them hid.
All of them called it nonsense.
All of them stayed behind locked doors.

And here’s the detail we forget:

In Matthew, Jesus had already told the women to tell the disciples:

“Go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

Meaning — staying in that room for over a week wasn’t just fear.
It was staying somewhere Jesus had already told them to leave.

They were supposed to be moving toward Him.
Instead, they were hiding from the world.

But Jesus — in grace — walked through the locked door anyway.

So here’s the message this Easter:

If you think the idea of God becoming man, dying for your sins, and rising three days later is nonsense — you’re standing exactly where His own disciples stood.

If you believe Jesus can move in other people’s lives but you still keep yourself behind a locked door of fear, shame, doubt, or self‑protection — the disciples were right there too.

But Easter is your invitation.

This can be the year you leave the room Jesus already told you to leave.
This can be the moment you step out of fear, out of hiding, out of the locked places — and go where He’s calling you.

Whatever your locked door is — fear, doubt, sin, shame, disappointment, control — Jesus is appearing to you the same way He appeared to them.

Not to scold you.
Not to shame you.
But to say:

“Peace be with you.
You don’t have to stay here.
Come meet Me where I’m calling you.”

the more I understand the gospel, the more I see it’s not about forcing yourself to stop sinning. it’s about loving God so much that sin loses its pull.

The number one reason people speak against the Bible is because it speaks against their lifestyle.

Walking with Christ rewires your mind . It’s hard to explain …but impossible to ignore.

You start noticing God everywhere. Scripture pops into your head.
Convictions mid-conversation.
Random gratitude.

It’s like the Holy Spirit keeps leaving sticky notes in your mind.📝

Governments change. Culture changes. Opinions change.

God does not.

Jesus didn’t come preaching tolerance; He came preaching repentance.

The fact that Peter denied Jesus three times and still became the rock the church was built on proves one thing: Your worst moment
doesn’t disqualify you from your calling.

Grace rewrites the story.

[Greg Laurie @greglaurie]

If you are a believer, the Spirit of God lives in you. You belong to the Lord. Yes, the devil can tempt you. He can hassle you. But he cannot overcome you, because you are under God’s protection.

In Ephesians 6, the apostle Paul talks about the believer’s spiritual armor: the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the Spirit, and so forth. But before he describes the armor, he writes, “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power” (Ephesians 6:10 NLT). In other words, just stay calm.

Stand still and watch the Lord rescue you.

Is it possible to achieve meaning and purpose in life without the existence of God?
