The Great Vigil of Easter, March 31 Luke 24:1-12
When asked to write the Easter devotion since he is the pastor, Donovan replied with a short note: “The disciples went to the tomb and wondered if they had jobs.” It was a funny retort, but also an engaging thought to consider—do we come to Easter services thinking about what the empty tomb means for our lives? Does it mean security for what we are doing? Does it cause anxiety as we realize that what was no longer is? Does it conjure up feelings of hope and excitement or nerves of anxiety? These are the questions we will consider as we gather to worship God this morning. Join us as we ponder these questions.
Daily Challenge: Consider the empty tomb—how does that reality affect your faith?
Prayer: God of the empty tomb, grant us patience, grace and comfort as we ponder and pray what it means that you raised Jesus from the dead.
