Jesus asking Peter “do you love me?” three times after the resurrection is one of the most beautiful acts of restoration.
The 3 questions cancel out Peter’s 3 denials & Jesus sends him on his way.
Eastertide is a season where we are invited to confess again our love for Jesus.
SOMETHING SPECIAL IN DETROIT 🏀
The Pistons have players unashamed of Jesus Christ:
Cade Cunningham: “I get my aura from my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Daniss Jenkins: “It’s the Lord’s Day… I believe in God and I trust my work.”
Young men giving all glory to God. 🙌🙏🏾
Resurrection is precisely concerned with the present world and its renewal, not with escaping the present world and going somewhere else; and, in its early Jewish forms right through to its developed Christian forms, it was always concerned with divine judgment, with the creator god acting within history to put right that which is wrong. Only if we misunderstand what resurrection actually involved can we line it up with the kind of ‘pie in the sky’ promises which earned the scorn of many twentieth-century social reformers.

My preaching advice (to myself) and those preparing for Easter:
1. Trust the story. Let it do the work.
2. Trim your sermon. Less is more.
3. Try to relax. Life will go on no matter how you do.
4. Remember that Christ is risen. That’s what truly matters.

Many Christians today, if they keep ‘Lent’ at all, follow it with only a single day of Easter celebration. But the early Christians celebrated Easter as a prolonged festival, running for forty days until the commemoration of Jesus’ Ascension. The present book, ending with a whole week of Easter reflections, is pointing towards that larger reality.
Why did they do all this? What did it mean for them? And what might it mean for us to follow the same kind of discipline?
Perhaps the most important thing they were doing was to remind themselves, in the weeks either side of Easter, that world history divides into two: the time before Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the time afterwards. New creation has been launched in the midst of the old.
