This month we are diving into scripture to see how the resurrection is our hope.
The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, the ultimate display of God’s power and love.
It reminds us that death does not have the final say and that through Christ, we are given the promise of eternal life.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26 NIV)

A Prayer for the Month:
Dear Lord, Thank You for the incredible gift of hope through the resurrection of Jesus. When life feels heavy or uncertain, remind us of the power that raised Him from the dead and the promise of new life that it brings. Help us to hold onto this hope in every circumstance, knowing that nothing is impossible for You. Let the truth of the resurrection fill our hearts with peace, joy, and courage as we trust in Your unfailing love. Thank You for the victory You’ve given us through Jesus. In His name, we pray, Amen.
The Hope We Have in the Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than a historical event; it’s the beating heart of our faith, offering hope that transforms how we face every aspect of our lives.
This hope tells us that in Jesus, life conquers death, love overcomes hate, and joy can be found on the other side of sorrow.
It’s a promise from God that the worst thing is never the last thing.
Resurrection hope is dynamic, breathing life into our daily struggles and challenges. It encourages us to look beyond our current circumstances to God’s ultimate promise of renewal and restoration.
This hope is not passive—it empowers us, it moves us, and it propels us forward with a confidence that comes from knowing the end of the story: victory in Christ.
As you go about your day, let this hope inspire you to live boldly, love deeply, and face your challenges with courage.
Remember, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you, equipping you to overcome and to share this living hope with the world around you.
