Happy Easter...

It's another Easter, another year when the world takes pause to recognize the Empty Tomb, and if they don't realize the significance, the unparalleled hope that Christ followers have from it. Yet, in all of history, perhaps np one can aprreciate that hope as much as Peter, Christ follower and trusted friend...
Only hours earlier Peter had denied knowing Jesus, not once but three times, after swearing he would follow Him to the death. Can you imagine how devistated Peter must have felt, how totally devoid of hope, of courage, of vision after that? Wow. And yet, in the midst of that despair comes the report, "He is not here". The tomb is empty. The Christ has risen! And hope floods anew...
I hope this Easter season you take pause and remember Peter, and remember that no matter how desolate life seems there's always hope in Jesus. Happy Easter my Friends.
Food for thought...
